Littlejohn was born in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In her last year of college, she worked in the writer's room as an intern on Nickelodeon's sitcom My Brother and Me.

After college, Littlejohn relocated to Los Angeles where she worked as a PA on Fox's The Last Frontier before securing a job as a writer's assistant to Matt Wickline and John Bowman on The Show.

During the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, Littlejohn found herself unemployed for the first time since the age of 16.
