About Me

  • The book that made me a reader is From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

  • I go to bed already excited for morning coffee. 

  • My happy place is on a trail with my dog. My dog’s happy place is off the trail in a mud puddle.

  • I’m an excellent skier and terrible fisherwoman but love both. 

  • I was born in Macon, GA, grew up in northern New Jersey, and am a New Yorker at heart—and only still sound like one when I say sneaker. Or couch. Or actually everything.

  • My most used GIFs are all Alexis from Schitt’s Creek. Yes, still. 

  • After a decade of living in Nashville, I now wear a puffy jacket and beanie when the temperature dips below 60 F. I’m only a teensy bit embarrassed.

  • My writing progress slows (screeches to a halt?) during Wimbledon and the US Open.

  • I listen to audiobooks while driving children around and doing chores. If reading and cleaning the kitchen were a sport, I’d be its GOAT.

  • I will never grow out of my Swiftie Era.
