Jennifer Astle - I was born in New Brunswick, Canada. At the age of seventeen I had to break free from the chains of the small community in which I was raised and fled to study at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, NB. There I studied Criminology and Sociology. After leaving STU, I attended grad school at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I quickly learned that academia was far too restrictive for my tastes, and left after completing my coursework. My next step was managing a clothing store in Oakville, Ontario for a popular Canadian clothing chain named LeChateau. There I came into my own in fashion, managing, marketing and merchandising.
Wanting to accomplish much more in my life, I decided to pursue a career as a freelance writer. I now live in Kansas City where I am a slave to my PC, a professed CNN junkie, and a lover of all things pop culture.
My dream; to publish books and write for a magazine!

The only thing that I might find a little intimidating are the Great Whites, and that's only because I watched Open Water the other day (haha), but even then...still worth it.
