I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I loved writing from the time I could write, so I've been doing it most of my life! For more about my experiences in writing, click here.

At 15, I moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio (which is why Cleo is from there). I was sad to leave PA but ended up meeting some of my best friends ever while I was in high school in Ohio.

For college, I went to Northwestern University outside Chicago, Illinois. I majored in journalism (writing for newspapers specifically), but moved to Los Angeles right after graduation to pursue a career writing for TV and movies.

Right now, my main career is being a producer for reality television. It's a different type of storytelling -- you have to make the story out of the real-life moments that actually happen on camera. It's definitely challenging, but fun too!
