Rebecca Dessertine grew up in New Jersey, a fact that she is very proud of. She attended Solebury School in New Hope, PA from which she graduated early in order to go to New York University. Half way through her college career she took a year off to"act" and then finished her education at the University of Virginia; Alma mater of both her mother, father and sister. Rebecca started writing when she was a child but it wasn't until she moved to Los Angeles that she realized a career could actually be fashioned out of what she loves to do. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jason Pugatch, her dog and two cats.
