Welcome to... NIKULAND!!!!!

The god of this place? Niku. Though I find that passe. Inflating your ego til its beyond cartoonish is so 2015. I like to call myself this website's right hand arm. Man. This website's everything. This website's silly rabbit. Is this website personal, professional, or borderline insane? I don't give a shit! Here's a link for my favorite social mediasite, by the way.

Here's a list of my credits.

• OUR CREW, 2016. Script editor and actress. This was a Phil Elleston project and I'll namedrop him as often as possible because he rocks.
• A THEATER STUDENT GETS LOST IN THE SCIENCE BUILDING, 2019. Writer.
• BILLY BOOKSHELVES, 2019. Actress but whoever wrote it did a horrible job (which is fine, we only had a day to write our scripts) so I never uploaded a video of my performance.
• CHATROOM, 2019. Production assistant. Live theatrical production put on at Brava Theater.
• BAILE EN LA CALLE, 2019. Production assistant. Live street show.
• YTTL & SFRC AUDIO DRAMAS, 2021. Production manager, production assistant.
• UNMASKED: THE COVID CHRONICLES, 2022. Production assistant.
• MEDIA MINDS, 2022. One of two writers.
• BECA FEST, 2022. Lead writer, audio board operator, production assistant.
• AN INTERVENTION., 2022. Writer, director.
• NUDE SHOOTER, 2022. Writer, director, actress. Lover and fighter as well; yes, both.

"I eventually want to be like Paul Abbott: good enough to write a brilliant TV show which gets a much better adaptation in another country. Maybe I want to be Russell T Davies, totally selfish with my work and totally rewarded for it. I also want to be Gerard Way, aimless enough to start the greatest rock band of their decade, and Dylan Moran, somehow making money telling jokes, and my photographer friends, who actually get work because they know to stick to their strengths, and Matt Decker, a straight up bad tattoo artist but intimidating enough to not get much flack over it, and Ben Edlund, who is just a very good genre writer and comic artist, and everyone I went to art school with, who seem to reigniting some artistic revolution in NY, and the ladies in the local sandwich shop, because they're always laughing, and the owners of the local bookstore, because they don't have to pay any employees and seem to know everyone, and Jerry, the little boy whose face is plastered all over my local donut shop, and more. For now, though, I'm a working girl. No biggie." - Niku "The Butt" Radan. Also known as Niku the Breathtaking.

A list of my humble pursuits:

• CAMP COUNSELOR, 2017, Youthworks, San Francisco. I watched over children ages 6-13. I was also their favorite, as told by their cheers when I entered the auditorium to watch their talent show. They'd all forgotten me by the next year, though.
• ASSOCIATE EDITOR, September 2018 - March 2019, Ex Post Facto, San Francisco. I edited and approved/KILLED history papers for my college's history journal.
• YOUTH PROGRAM COORDINATOR, October 2018 - June 2022, MAPA @ BRAVA, San Francisco. I watched over teens for four years. Did admin work, TA work, PA work, and social media management for the SFRC program.
• WRITING LAB TUTOR, February 2022 - May 2022, San Francisco State University, San Francisco.
• SCRIPT READER, September 2021 - October 2021 AND July 2022 - September 2022, Austin Film Festival, remotely worked in San Francisco.
• TIER 1 FILM SCREENER, October 2021 - December 2021, SF FILM Festival, San Francisco. I just had to watch 35 short films for these guys.
• SCRIPT READER, October 2022 - November 2022, Big Apple Film Festival, remotely worked in San Francisco.
• BOOKSELLER, November 2022 - present, Adobe Books, San Francisco. I work the counter whenever they need someone to fill in.
• CAT SITTER, December 2022, Sadie's house, San Francisco. I got paid 17 dollars because I spent the rest of my pay when I bought a record with Sadie's money. I also pulled Sadie's cat out of a wall right before a storm so that's got to count for something.
• FRONTWOMAN, January 2023, unnamed band, San Francisco. The band actually fell apart before we could do anything but I want you all to know I tried.
• CASHIER GIRL, January 2023 - present, Thrillhouse Records, San Francisco. Catch me from 12-4 on Tuesdays at THRILLLLLLHOUSEEEEEEEEE!

I meow recreationally but I like spelling it "miau" to give it a trendy and French feeling. I also like to knit, read, and paint. I went to Ruth Asawa School of the Arts but was too much of a perfectionist to ever do anything with my education. It's okay. I'm only 22. Right now all I want is my own place and one big focus that isn't tattoo ink and plasma running down my back. I'll get it. It's a little goal.

"I'm sorry for ruining my body but what else is there to do with it, man?"- Niku the Breathtaking after asking her mommy for stevia.

A list of all my body modifications:

• Two lobe piercings. Pierced in 2006, I cried because I saw my own blood and one of the piercings is STILL crooked.
• Nose piercing. Pierced in 2016, I cried again because piercing your nose will make you cry.
• Two more lobe piercings, septum piercing. Pierced in 2018, I cried a third time sorry SORRYYYYYY
• Arm tattoo, 2020. I didn't cry this time but I almost passed out.
• Eyebrow piercing. Pierced in 2021, I didn't really want an eyebrow piercing but I didn't know what to ask for for my birthday. I reacted normally to this one.
• Back tattoo, 2023. I complained a lot but otherwise was pretty normal again.

A list of my brother's body modifications:

• Elf ears, 2011. He pulled on the tips of his ears for like three hours and one of them is still pointed.
