Get to Know Me: Beyond the Written Word

I love MUSIC:

Writing feeds my soul, and music quenches its thirst. The intersection in which writing and music meet serves me like a divinely curated parent that meets all of my basic needs.

Anytime my head is tilted down towards my phone, there is a 90% chance I am on Shazam hurriedly trying to find the song playing around me.

Find me on Spotify!


I am a FOODIE:

Growing up in an Italian-American household granted me three things: thick eyebrows, boisterous family gatherings and a LOVE. FOR. FOOD. Any food. All food. We love food.


I love to TRAVEL:

When and if given the chance, I absolutely love venturing into the world.

This passion of mine lived within me as a young girl, but truly blossomed during my semester abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Whether it’s a trip to an ancient city, a mountain top, or a tropical beach I love exploring the world around me.


Some Extras:

  • Free People is my favorite clothing brand

  • I began to learn Italian in high school, declared it as my minor in college and now am at a proficient speaking level

  • My comfort TV shows are “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Righteous Gemstones,” “Bob’s Burgers,” and anything Bravo

  • I won my fourth grade “Readers are Leaders” competition (impressive, I know)

  • I’ve never broken a bone

  • I’m freakishly terrified of possums
