About Me

A ravenous reader with a burning love for pop culture and balloon twisting, I write about comics, libraries, and comics in libraries. I am the recipient of two master’s degrees, one in Library and Information Science from Kent State University and the other in English from Ohio Dominican University. I now work as a manager for a public library in Greater Cleveland, where I live with my husband, three dogs, and pet rats.

Reach out to me anytime!
