Not A Minx - Who?

The Gal Behind the Blog

The blogger in Switzerland

Trista is young adult from the Diocese of Rockville Centre with a passion for reading, traveling, books, historical sites, museums, and Catholicism.

Trista inherited her love of animal prints, roller-coasters, and mini-adventures from her mother.  She learned to respect motorcycles, bonfires, and bedtime stories from her father.  She credits her parents for never once letting on that she was a quirky child - not when she asked to go to Orchard House, home of Louisa May Alcott, for her 10th birthday; or when she picked St. Bathildis as her Confirmation Saint; or when she spent five years of her life seriously engaged in the Harry Potter fandom and world of fanfiction.   

Trista's a proud graduate of Franklin College Switzerland, a small American college in Lugano, Switzerland, and The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.  She has worked in many different sectors, including local government, education, non-profit, real estate, and publishing.

On May 25, 2013 she will enter the Sacrament of Marriage with the love of her life, Bryan, and will be relocating to Connecticut.
