The flame was sparked back in 2010 when she began writing as a student reporter, and she has been covering an array of beats — from news to entertainment and features to travel in publications across New Jersey and Pennsylvania — ever since. She carries an overwhelming passion for entertainment, culture, nature, and some things that are not so natural ... like oddities, state cryptids, and other things that go bump in the night. Regardless of the topic, she is delighted to bring her encyclopedic knowledge of weird facts to readers.
