Arlyn Hernandez

Former Babysitter’s Fan Club devotee turned championship marching band life-time bragger turned tortured writer/editor, Arlyn is a recent-ish LA transplant after deciding to move across the country from Florida on a whim (very on brand for her). A proud Puerto Rican-raised woman, she consistently has 30k+ unread personal emails in her inbox and is the youngest of four yet somehow everyone’s “mom”…including her mom. You’ll likely find her under a blanket on her sofa watching a time-travel-related movie (or reruns of The Office), staring at photos of pasta on Instagram, humming along to basically every song known to man without actually knowing any real words, asking what’s for lunch or laughing loudly.
