Education

I graduated from Pittsburgh Technical College in 2010. In my final semester of school I had an internship with a small publishing company and have worked in the world of publications ever since.

Country of origin and what drew me to Pittsburgh:

I was born a few miles down the Allegheny River, and love the size of this city. It is very conducive to exploring on foot, and the topography is endlessly fascinating. Plus, I’m easily baited by a good pierogi.
