Ruby is a published author of a children’s book that is focused on finding and exploring the aspect of having, embracing, different types of homes. To Ruby, home is a journey, it is where we come from, where we are headed, have been, and planting new roots. Home is part of our identity, it’s what shapes who we become, it’s our body, our essence, it is the feeling we get when we are with someone we love.

When Ruby is not in the office she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, watching tv, and eating Hot Cheetos,  Ruby also enjoys painting and sketching on her down time.
