What is something unique/quirky about you?
One unique thing about me is that I am double jointed. Three quirky things about me is I have a habit of twirling the bottom of my hair when I am nervous, I don’t like my food to touch on my plate and I must smell my food before eating it.
Tell us something interesting that's happened to you!
When I was ten years old, I went into the teen department at the public library (Central Library, Evansville, In) to check out some books. I was met by the librarian over that department, who gave homework before I could get any books. The homework assignment was to read a book titled, Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. I had to write a paragraph explaining what I learned from reading the book.
This book changed my life and taught me to be careful who I choose as friends, never do drugs and to communicate to my parent if something bad happens to me as a form of asking for help. The character in the book didn’t do this and her life went downhill. The people she thought were her friends are the ones who put her in harm’s way.
What are some of your pet peeves?
I have a couple.
1) It drives me crazy when people slurp their drinks.
2) People who feel they can’t support others in their industry. If I respect and support your endeavors, it is only customary for you to do the same. I can’t do one sided relationships.
3) My last pet peeve is people who play the victim card or act overdramatic in everything.
Where were you born/grew up at?
I was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana which is three hours from where I live now in Indianapolis, Indiana.
What are you passionate about these days?
I’m passionate about teaching others about the publishing industry and how to enjoy their space as an indie in the industry.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
It may seem simple but reading a good book in my reclining chair with a cup of tea or coffee is how I relax. I also like sitting in my reclining chair while listening to a personal development podcast with my eyes closed. This is my customized meditation.
