About Me
I grew up on the East Coast and landed in Los Angeles after college. I've been here ever since, appreciating the (mostly) great weather, beautiful beaches, and diverse dining scene.In my downtime, I'm usually outside, exploring trails, taking road trips with our rescue dog, or checking out new places to eat and visit.
