Rumors have it she can be summoned with cats, cookie dough, or mentioning the supernatural. She also happens to have a BFA in Dramatic Writing from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a minor in Animation, and is completing a double masters degree in Publishing and Creative Writing at Rosemont College.
