About Me

I’m the Short Hair Diva behind this website but I also answer to Melissa, Mrs. Rhone and Mommy. I’m not (too) much of a diva but as you can see, I definitely have short hair.

I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and still live there today. Yes, I actually enjoy intense sunshine and the sweltering Florida heat! I also prefer flip-flops over “real shoes” and I’ve been a  huge Jimmy Buffett fan since I was in the seventh grade, when the kids would ask, “Jimmy who?” when I wore his concert T-shirts to school.

Following my graduation from the University of Tampa and an extremely brief career in the field of education, I began working as a freelance writer, blogger and editor. I am also a person that began having unexplained seizures at  age 25, resulting in an epilepsy diagnosis–hence the massive number of posts I write on the topic.

These days I contribute to a variety of websites and manage social media accounts, which is the main reason I’m guilty of not updating ShortHairDiva.com as often as I should. In the past year or so, I’ve dyed my hair purple for epilepsy awareness, talked about epilepsy with my all-time favorite Heroes and Felicity star Greg Grunberg and (gulp!) celebrated my 32nd birthday.
