Fun Facts and Hobbies

  • When she’s not reading and writing, Brittany loves watching reality TV (she likes to think she specializes in NJ-based TV and movies) and cooking authentic Japanese meals.
  • Brittany only moved to Chicago a few months ago, but is so excited to live in a city whose pizza is (almost) as legendary as her home-state’s!
