Gimarie Battle was born in September of 1988 to two wonderful parents on the island of Puerto Rico. Her family has since moved to Connecticut, where she learned English at school while speaking Spanish at home. She attended the University of Connecticut, graduating with a BA in English in 2010, and then moved on to attain her MA in TESOL from SIT Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, Vermont. She is currently teaching elementary level English in South Korea, and thoroughly enjoying most of it. Her hobbies include doodling, writing, dancing, and playing online MMORPGs, though she does take time out to read novels and visit friends. She enjoys working on her 2005 Dodge Neon, and is an acceptable cook. Gimarie frequents conventions and listens to music at all hours of the day – she is a certified snuggle bug and loves to watch movies. She has two sisters, a brother, and five nephews, as well as a plethora of aunts, uncles, and cousins. A loyal friend and hopeless romantic, she is well-loved by her closest friends, and hopes to travel the world with them someday.
