Hi.
I was born in Chicago and grew up in the city’s southwest suburbs. Throughout high school, I cultivated my interest in drawing and writing in classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College. I went on to Knox College, where I majored in art history and English literature and was the editor-in-chief of Catch, Knox’s award-winning literary magazine. I have worked for various children’s publishers in the Chicago area since 2009.
