Rebekah is a writer and runner who spends her downtime going down bizarre research rabbit holes. When she’s not adventuring in a far-flung country or hunting down the world’s biggest wooden nickel you can find her at home, hanging out with her two cats, one dog and 55 plants. She’s very excited to be the Assistant Producer for this year’s production of Your Faithful Reader! You can find her random musings at franklyrebekah.com.
