Describing myself has always been a tricky thing to do.  So instead of giving you some long rambling story about my life up until the point that you’re reading this, I’ll just give you some fun facts.

My name is Emily. I’m the youngest of five and I’m pretty certain that my family are some of my favorite people ever.

I’m not originally from Maine, I actually grew up on Long Island, ran away to Massachusetts for college, made my way down to Rhode Island for culinary school, and finally ended up in Maine (with a few more stops in between).

To put it lightly, I’m a dog person. I actually have an album in my phone for when I get a little bit drunk and want to show people pictures of my parent’s dog and I’m not even slightly ashamed of that fact. If you meet me and want to tell me about your dog I will 100% listen. I do request that you please bring pictures or an actual dog though.

I’m a big Harry Potter nerd. As a child my nickname on one family vacation was “HPKIA” (an acronym for Harry Potter Know it All) and I’ve lived up to that name for the last seventeen years.

I like making comparisons a lot, but they’re not usually normal comparisons. They are usually accurate though, and that’s all that matters to me.
