Thanks to those cousins, she was raised on a healthy diet of everything from The Addams Family to Silent Hill to Pet Sematary, resulting in a love of telling stories about Puerto Rican kids with morbid hobbies and senses of humor. After graduating with a BA in English from UMass Amherst, she spent nearly a decade working as a high school educator, mostly focused in special education, trauma-informed teaching, and ELL. On any given day, you can find Louangie at home playing video games or watching cooking shows and horror movies with her spouse.view less
