About Me

  • About Me: I live in sunny Los Angeles with my husband, Johnny; our toddler, Jack; newborn son, Derek; and our Shiba Inu, Atari. I'm a stay at home mom to Jack and Derek (and Atari) and also do writing and HR consulting work on a part-time basis at home. In my spare time (haha), I enjoy trying new recipes, shopping and working out. I graduated with a bachelor's and master's degrees from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. I'll always have a soft spot for Chicago!
