2. I took a college English course “Vampires in Literature and Film” for fun once and it was the absolute best. Anything involving vampires has long been a favorite of mine, from the violent and horrific to the beautiful and seductive… and everywhere in between.

3. The first job I remember seriously wanting as a child was to be a writer. (And now I am!)

4. Pineapple and mushroom is my favorite pizza topping combo.

5. I started doing yoga when I was 14.

6. At 18, I finished my 200-hour yoga teaching certification.

7. Before finishing undergraduate school, a friend and I opened a yoga and dance studio in our small college town. It didn’t last long but we learned a lot and had so much fun. We both run successful businesses today.

8. I have visited 5 countries outside of the United States, where I’m from.
