I'm originally from the pizza capital of the world: New Haven, Connecticut, but grew up in rural Virginia. I've lived in Boston for the last ten years and recently graduated from Umass Boston with a BA in Communications and a minor in Dance. I love food, wine, and, occasionally, running. Currently on the adventure of a lifetime around the world with no end in sight!
