Overview
Hey, I’m Thalia! I’ve been working as a writer for over 12 years and love learn about anything within the lifestyle, real-life mysteries, travel, true crime, and health niches. I always keep an open mind and love seeing where the road may lead me. You can find me on the golf course, running a new route, or enjoying a barbecue when I’m not writing.
