Biography: I came to Indiana from Cincinnati, Ohio, to attend college, and I haven’t left since. I am an avid bookworm devouring book series, especially sci-fi and fantasy. I also love traveling and listening to stories. I especially enjoy hearing stories about what others find exciting. My forms of meditation are home improvement projects and puzzles. I live with my family in Noblesville, Indiana. Life is as full as you make it—enjoy the journey.
