Ryn is a former ELL teacher from Minnesota who now lives (and edits) in New Zealand. They love seahorses, capybaras, dragonflies, and elephants, and particularly the naughty penguins (re: Mo the Penguin of the Year), who live at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. Someday, when they can have a hoard of pets again, the animals will probably be given the names of Jeffrey Combs’ and Suzie Plakson’s characters.
