When I’m not writing, my Greek husband and I can be found wrangling our kids in Austin. Before returning to my hometown, I spent a dozen years trying on different lives. In NYC, I was a PR-account-executive-by-day, dating-blogger-by-night. A work opportunity in Berlin provided a rom-com meet-cute with the aforementioned Greek husband. While in LA, I pursued screenwriting and production. Life came to a screeching professional pause during two cross-country moves, the pandemic, and three babies in three years. Finally, head above water-ish, I wrote a story I looked forward to getting back to each night.
