I am a multimedia journalist with a passion for guitar-based music – be that rock-n-roll, bachata, or anything in between. When not in a mosh pit, I can be found knitting, collecting CDs, thrifting, journaling, or attempting to incite chaos among feuding global powers. I hold a bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and a masters degree in Mass Communication from the University of Houston, making me twice the Coog you'll ever be ;)

“We cannot wait for the things in our life to happen the way we want them to in order to do the things we want,” yelled Senses Fail frontman Buddy Nielson into the crowd. “Do not wait for the perfect conditions, because they don't exist. There's no perfect time to have a kid, to change your job, to move, to say 'I love you to someone. There's no perfect time, it's never going to be a time because life is not a waiting room.”
