By day, she works as a case manager for a disability firm, but she moonlights as a Professor Umbridge cosplayer, volunteers as a crisis counselor, self-cares with Red Sox games, and writes altogether too much Transformers fanfiction. She makes her home in the Merrimack Valley with her piano, overflowing bookshelves, and many imaginary friends for her next book.
