(At least she thinks she saw a mountain lion -- they're so sneaky!) When she's not drawing, Tiffany enjoys playing video games, cooking, birding, kayaking, and identifying every animal she sees. Diary of a Nature Nerd is Tiffany's graphic novel debut and is inspired by her own travels with her furry sidekick, Tuco, a rescue dog who's always up for an adventure.
