About Me

Rebecca resides in Dallastown, PA with her husband and two daughters (Raina - age 6; Story - age 2). For the past 12 years she has taught English Literature, Creative Writing, and Public Speaking at various high schools in Minnesota, Philadelphia and now in Red Lion, PA. Currently, she is loving her summer life at home with her little family and her pug, Loki. In her spare time she loves reading contemporary literature and memoirs about crazy people, taking long walks, doing yoga, watching So You Think You Can Dance (yup), writing, and although it is embarrassing she loves to do laundry (this is not a joke). She hopes to one day find balance in her life.
