I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I used to pretend to read before I could by carrying around Nancy Drew books and flipping through the pages.

I co-founded readergirlz, a social media site awarded the National Book Foundation's Innovations in Reading Prize. I also co-founded readertotz which aims to raise the profile of board books.
