  • I live in Massachusetts with my husband, four cats, two dogs, and, occasionally, one of my children (they're technically adults).
  • I graduated from the University of Tampa with a Biology degree.
  • I graduated from RISD CE in the Children's Book Illustration program.​
  • I love to work with traditional media, mostly watercolor and ink, but I am learning to embrace digital painting. 
  • I'm a little salty.  
  • My favorite insects are honeybees, bumblebees, dragonflies, fireflies, stick bugs, jumping spiders and preying mantises. Fire ants are terrible.
  • I have an allergy to wasps and hornets. They are the worst. I received venom injections for 5 years due to this.
  • I used to be terrified of spiders. Recently, I held a tarantula! This is proof one can overcome their fears with time.
  • Nothing beats swimming in the ocean.
  • I am fascinated by sharks, but I respect their size, power, and very pointy teeth.
  • My favorite sharks are great whites, salmon sharks (they look like baby great whites), and the beautiful scalloped hammerhead.
  • In my other life, I would be a professional surfer.​
  • In this life, I love working in bookstores.
  • ​My favorite number is 13.
  • My favorite words are "wonky" and "lollygag."
  • My favorite holiday is Halloween.
  • My favorite weather is a cool, foggy day. 
  • My favorite ice cream flavor is bubblegum.
  • I think I have a pizza tapeworm. 
  • In life, you either love circus peanuts (spongy orange things) or you hate them. I love them!
