Virginia’s life forever changed when a series of strange coincidences sparked her curiosity. She started following them wherever they led, and to her great surprise, the three chronic illnesses she’d been struggling with since college all disappeared and she started experiencing increasingly wondrous events.

She’s been sharing her true magical stories ever since, and in 2018, she launched the online publication The Magic Guide.

Endorsed by a clinical psychologist, The Magic Guide has been praised both for its extraordinary writing and for invoking more awe and wonder in people’s lives.

Before the Guide, Virginia studied physical anthropology at Vassar College, conducted research with one of the world’s foremost primatologists, and worked at Northwestern University’s Center for International Human Rights.

Her writing and magical experiences have been featured in numerous podcasts and publications, and in 2022, her essay “To Walk in Clear Skies,” detailing her ancestral connection to the Salem Witch Trials, was published in the 77th issue of the Lincoln Center Theater Review.

Virginia lives and works in Ohio with her husband and cat. She is currently writing her first novel.
