I am a university graduate who just moved cross-country to the most exciting and diverse city in America: San Francisco!

Through my Mother's excellent coaching, a high school newspaper paper editorial position, challenging journalism programs, and a thirst for knowledge that goes deeper than reverberated content, I feel I just beginning to brandish the writer inside of me.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

currently reading Word Spy, by Paul McFedries.

My first job ...

folding T-shirts at a clothing store.

My best moment ...

crying deliriously when Nathan proposed!

My inspiration ...
