About Bridgitte Rodguez
About Me
I currently live in New York City. By way of LA, Washington, DC, Santa Cruz, San Diego and Puerto Rico, where I was born. If you can’t tell, I like to move. I’m always looking for a change of scenery— whether a new apartment or a new city!
I have a BA from UC Santa Cruz in Anthropology and an MA from The George Washington University, also in Anthropology. Before I decided down this author/writer journey, I mostly worked in non-profits; museums and hospitals on communications, membership and fundraising.
For fun I like to travel, hang out with friends and family and I’ve been known to binge watch Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. I read, crochet and knit, I like to cook, am big into arts & crafts and wandering the streets of NYC.
