A Midwest native, she now lives in the desert with her husband, two kiddos, two dogs, two cats and a tortoise named George. She spends her free time doing her podcast, Toxic, for zero dollars because she believes it’s just that important, volunteering in her kids’ school (yes, she drives a minivan), binge-watching procedural crime dramas, doing yoga to destress from the daily horrors of the world and making margs when that doesn’t work.
