Hallie Trader

I am 21 and was born and raised in Huntington, West Virginia. I currently live in Athens, Ohio. I'm married to the best guy in the world, Braden (yes, we're young/crazy/what have you). Living on bagels and string cheese until we make it big, but wouldn't have it any other way.

I have one brother, Jonas, whose influence on my life is pretty apparent in my articles (aka anything having to do with autism). He's the best kid I know and my world is better because he exists. I also have a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Tian and Anna, who have become like additional younger siblings and I'm incredibly happy about that!

My family is incredibly supportive and I'd be nowhere without them. They continually allow me to forge my own paths, make my own mistakes, and help me learn from both my successes and failures.
