Lotus – Editor: Photography

Lotus Carroll is an emotionally volatile dork with a heart of gold.

After being in school for far too long, she earned a BA and an MA in Psychology. She thought she would use her degrees, and affinity for understanding people, to earn money.

To stay sane, she visits her passions: writing, photography, nature, gardening, and food. She likes to laugh, but understands the value of a good cry. She talks to the people inside her computer. A lot.

When she’s not slaying dragons with her trusty Dyson or weaving dream spells with stuffed animals she’s usually nose deep in a recipe book, or standing over a hot stove creating tonguegasmic delights for her family and friends.
