About Me

I'm a freelance (read: lacking a full-time position) writer whose work has appeared on Boston Daily, Blue Mass Group, NESN.com, and in Boston magazine. I'm an aspiring musician, rich girl, and hopeless romantic, but get distracted by shiny objects and the wardrobe on Gossip Girl.

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

I believe that God made the fork in His own image.
