Now, the Fun Stuff
Born and raised in Corona, California, I’ve since lived in North Carolina, Washington, DC, Oxford, and now Cleveland. I may have lost my tan over the years, but I’ve kept my passion for Disneyland, Mexican food, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
I spend my non-writing free time wrangling three tiny humans, entertaining a corgi named Sgt. Stubby, and thinking about my next meal.
Personal strengths include napping and memorizing musical theater lyrics. I am shockingly bad at estimating the required tupperware size for leftovers and am convinced I could befriend most wild animals (I know it’s not true, but I still feel like I could win them over...)
