A true product of her hometown. Writing since she could hold a pencil, she’s been computing since she watched her Dad stumble out of an Atari distribution center with her Commodore 64, and tech savvy since she held the responsibility of VCR time adjuster from age 5. Growing up, her imagination fueled her fierce independence, so you were more likely to catch her playing “office” instead of “house”.

The written word fascinates and practically ruled her adolescence. Whether it was storybooks written for and about her friends, fan letters to her favorite stars, her turn as the yearbook editor in Middle and High schools or the more than 500 magazines her father disposed of without her consent after they began to take over her teenage bedroom, its been pretty apparent upon meeting her, that writing (and speaking her mind) is her thing.
