Description

I was born an raised in New York City to a set of Art Director parents, obsessed with all things Halloween. It was an interesting childhood to say the least. I spent weekends in photo studios learning to strut like a model, at the The Met studying Botticelli, or in Lincoln Center listening to the New York Philharmonic.

As I matured, my love of the literary arts took center stage. Writing was, and will always be, the greatest outlet for my overactive imagination. Some days it feels like my brain won’t shut up unless I jot down an idea for a new story.

If I’m not writing I’m listening to music. I’ll put on anything from Beethoven to Scandinavian folk metal so if you ask me, “have you heard of…” the answer is probably, yes.
