About Me


'Sup! I'm Darci. Welcome to my corner of the internet!

I'm a New Yorker turned Miamian turned Londoner turned Coloradan with a slightly overzealous interest in all things Olympic. Nice to meet you!

I'm 27 (yikes!) and pretending to be a real grown-up, but I'm really just as confused as everyone else is. Probably more so, actually, if we're going all full-disclosure here. I run on tea, classic rock and a little bit of magic.

When I was seven years old, my birthday party was Olympics-themed. And two decades later, I have this blog and worked for the United States Olympic Committee for four years. Some call it "obsessive," I call it "consistent." And "dedicated." And "LOL look where it got me, suckas!"

I originally created this blog to chronicle my Olympic journey. So that's cool, but... where the HECK do I go from here? I write about figuring out what the next step is, navigating the murky waters of fake-adult life, getting out of my comfort zone, some travel, a lot of baseball and all sorts of Olympic things. But most importantly, I write. I know the Internet is a place for bite-sized chunks and bullet points, but I like words. Words in sentences and paragraphs and well-crafted stories. I'm sorry. (No I'm not. I have a journalism degree. Words are my jam.)

Some of my other favorite things include the New York Mets (...I know), London (my soul city), Harry Potter, all 1980s pop culture and the University of Miami.

Let's be friends!

  6. This is the coolest thing I've read all day! If my about me could be half as entertaining, witty, and informative as yours, I think I could finally be happy with it. Words fail me when it comes to describing myself. :P

  7. Hey Darci! Thanks for commenting on my post! I'll be in touch via email soon but just wanted to leave a comment saying I can't believe there is someone else out there as (who am I kidding, you might be more) obsessed with the Olympics and an Olympic career as me! I don't think we could ever be in the same room together, one of us might explode.
