About Me

I’m Ali (she/her), a Chicana (Mexican American) 24-year-old Southern California native currently living in Las Vegas.

I like reading from any genre, writing, sewing, Animal Crossing, going to concerts (pre-COVID), using too many parentheses, driving ’round until I get lost and finding my way back.

In the Lost and Found will feature posts on what I’ve been reading, what I’m up to in life, my favorite things, and more. I look forward to figuring it out along the way!
