About Me

I am a lifelong Cincinnatian, currently in my late 40s. My professional life has mostly revolved around books, from working in a Brentano’s bookstore right after college to now being a reference librarian in a public library. In my spare time I’m also a music fanatic who LIVES for the summer concert season, a movie buff, aspiring writer, and amateur photographer. And I’m an anglophile who is perfectly content binging British comedies with a good cup of tea.
