Born the 2nd oldest of 6 children, she grew up often escaping to her bedroom to read, draw, and write. Somehow, she managed to graduate high school and even continued her education by being granted a Theatre scholarship to earn her degree in pretending to be someone else. After graduating, she served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada.
Upon returning to the U.S., she earned her Cosmetology License so she could run with scissors and not get yelled at. To really finish the deal, she became a certified Media Makeup Artist.
In 2006 she married her husband who she met while they both worked in a magical far off land the locals call 'The Home Depot'. Now on the search for the ever elusive Sasquatch, they live in the Pacific Northwest, where her husband is from. When she's not writing stories or speaking fluently in movie quotes, she enjoys drawing, painting, and spending time with her handsome husband and their dog.
