Fun Facts

Favorite artist: My favorite musical artist is R.E.M., but the artistic medium I enjoy the most is writing. I love a good novel and especially a thriller or mystery.

Favorite thing as a child: Related to the above, reading! I learned how to read before I started kindergarten and used to tote books to school so I could sneak chapters. I have special nostalgia for Ramona and the Baby-Sitters Club.

Special Hobbies/Interests: I’m not going to say reading again! I love to cook and bake, and my husband and I are enthusiastic world travelers.

Location: Boston, MA

Other fun facts: Despite being allergic to cats, I have three: Mac, Charlie, and Jackie Daytona.
