Nicole Loos* Miller grew up in Urbana, Illinois which she can now admit was a delightful place to grow up. She’s tried on a lot of different hats since she started working at fifteen (barista, camp counselor, crisis worker, student librarian, just to name a new) and has always enjoyed being on stage (as a character, not as herself). She found her sweet spot as a licensed clinical social worker and has enjoyed working in schools for almost twenty years.

She loves hiking, baking, gardening, skirts with pockets, laughing a little too loudly, accidentally speaking French when she’s trying to speak Spanish, and attempting to harness the hyper-focus part of her ADHD. She lives in the Chicago suburbs with her partner, two human children, and two cat children.

Follow her on instagram or sign up for her newsletter to hear more about writing (and probably also cats, baking, reading, and the outdoors)!

*Loos rhymes with “close.” As in, you try to say it and I smile and say “close, it’s Loos!” and we both laugh, and now we’re best friends
