Jacob Ashton
Jane was born and raised in Colorado and spent most of their childhood summers combatting the effects of climate change on the forests. As such, they're passionate about climate awareness and often explore that through their writing. Now, Jane is an educator and a content developer back home in Colorado after spending time away at college. They love cooking, especially Puerto Rican dishes handed down from their father, and spending time outside. They wish the ocean was closer to the mountains so they could sail and go hiking on the same day. Writing has been their passion for as long as they can remember and they believe the key to a better future is first being able to imagine it.
