She grew up in the Washington, DC suburbs on the Maryland side and spent most of her time under her grandmother's table with a stack of books.

She's got a serious travel bug and loves spending time outside of the USA, but makes her home in New York City, where she can most likely be found hunting for the best slice of pizza.
