Bio
After being born in Connecticut, I moved around before my family settled in Minnesota where I was the only kid with New Yorker parents! I loved growing up the frozen tundra (using the word "pop" and eating "bars). I attended the same school (in the same building) for fourteen years before heading south to warmer weather at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. There, I grew to love southerners, hush puppies, and NASCAR. I did this all while studying English.
After peddling greeting cards for a year, I went back to the midwest for graduate school at the University of Missouri-Columbia. In a small college town, I grew to love the Mizzou tigers, journalism, and spending weekends in the library.
In my Devil Wears Prada moment, I moved to NYC to get my foot into the door of journalism. This is what happened instead: I lived with my parents, couldn't find a paying job due to the economic climate, and wrote Where I Belong, which is about the recession. I now happily live in NYC (not with my parents) and write part-time and teach college part-time.
