I grew up in Arizona, avoiding the heat through a never-ending rotation of indoor-kid-approved creative pursuits. After running out of room to store my various projects, I discovered the space-saving allure of writing. Luckily for my parents and future roommates, it stuck. 

Today, I live in the Pacific Northwest, where I collect my hobbies on a hard drive in the form of note-taking and list-making. I spend my professional hours writing for category-leading brands in a variety of industries. Offline, I love to hike with my husband, collect puzzles, and make up little songs for my cat, who does not appreciate them.
