I guess this is where I write about myself…a girl's favorite thing, right? I like long walks on the beach, tequila and puppies. And apparently, after all these years, this still sounds like a dating profile.

​

Here we go. I'm cough cough in my 30s, originally from Atlanta, and I've called Los Angeles home since 2013. I have a career I love, incredible friends, a slight tequila obsession, and more stories than I probably have any business putting on the internet.

​

I started Secrets of the Single Girl because of a broken heart…crazy, right? I had read a million self-help books and dating blogs trying to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong when I realized something: I wasn't alone.

​

So I started writing.

​

I wrote about the dates, the apps, the heartbreaks, the hookups, the red flags I definitely ignored, the men my friends warned me about, and the never-ending search for "the one."

​

And then, after 12 years on dating apps…

​

I found him.

​

Turns out the single girl got her happy ending. But don't worry — she didn't suddenly become boring.

​

Because finding the one doesn't mean I've forgotten everything it took to get here. And it definitely doesn't mean I've run out of things to say.

​

So consider this the next chapter of Secrets of the Single Girl: love, relationships, friendships, beauty, travel, life in Los Angeles, and all the things I've learned — usually the hard way — along the way.

​

I survived the apps. I found my person. And I still have secrets to tell. ♥
