edit data

Mary was an early reader. She surprised her mother by learning to read at four and going on to read Charlotte’s Web and Peter Pan before first grade. In high school, her advanced reading helped her to earn a place in California’s state Academic Decathlon competition, winning gold medals in the literature exam over multiple years. Her love of reading continued through her first career path as a biologist, spurring her to write fiction during her off time. She earned a Bachelor of Science: Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation from the University of California San Diego, became a veterinarian’s assistant, then a field biologist in Ghana, Costa Rica, and Hawaii, and then a zookeeper at the San Francisco Zoo, while she wrote her first novel.

The Headshot Dilemma and Update

Professional headshots always feel like such a hassle. I’m never fully satisfied with professionally done ones, yet I feel like I should be, because I love every other kind of professional photo shoots. But with my career headshots there’s always a stilted weirdness going on. And at-home always feel too micro-managed, I’m trying to control every aspect of them and then spiraling too far into funky
