I'm a 27-year-old journalist from the wilds of Oregon. I'm in the process of moving to Arizona to work as a copy editor and Web content manager for a daily newspaper. I have a boyfriend of five years, and a border collie named, Bandit - or as my dad likes to call him, Crash Bandicoot. I sing and play the piano, but I generally spend most of my time writing with my friend, Jessica, or working on projects for the Mark Hildreth Street Team. That's me, a whole lot of literary fun.
