What is her Fangirl interest?
Doctor Who and Firefly are my two main fandoms. I also love Farscape, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica (both old and new), Star Wars and Star Trek, Studio Ghibli, anime and anything by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett and David Gemmel plus all and any books. I grew up reading Katherine Kurtz, Tolkien and the Grey King series. I also love going to Sci-Fi/Fantasy/anime/ and/or book conventions.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
As a lifelong Fangirl and mother, I hope to have a positive impact on other women. I love that I am able to share my fandom with my kids and with my husband (and he has introduced me to many new things).
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I live, breathe and live my fandom. From the artwork on my walls by James Hance and Joh. Sumrow to the clothes I wear from Her Universe and other geek centric stores.
What is her favorite quote or personal motto?
“At no point am I ever threatened by people who question who I am, or why I like the things I do, or my legitimacy. Because I know who I am very strongly, and I think that’s what geek culture can reinforce.”
Felicia Day
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
My Her Universe Halloween bag that I use as a purse.
