| Bio: : I am an avid writer of narrative nonfiction, I love board games and cooking, and I can often be found reading the newest thriller. I spend lots of time with my husband and three children. We love taking winding walks in Tower Grove Park, discovering amazing new parks and museums in St. Louis, hiking, and having dance parties in our living room. We are new(ish) to St. Louis – I went to WashU for undergrad – and we are so far blown away at how family friendly it is and how much time we have spent outdoors. |
