If I were a shark: I would be a leopard shark. They’re small and they’re homebodies, just like me.
My happy place: Baja California.
When I was a kid: I saw the movie Jaws, way too young, and was convinced their was a shark in our swimming pool.
My favorite books, movies or podcasts: Any book by Barbara Kingsolver, Elizabeth Strout, or Ann Patchett, as well as any field guide—I collect them.
