About the Author

Stephanie Rocha, a lifelong animal lover, talking animal movie aficionado, and accidental TikTok creator thinks everyone should aspire to be the person their dog (or cat) thinks they are.  

With a diverse career spanning politics, business, and many creative endeavors, she’s finally putting that English degree to work along with the help of her trusty sidekick—her talking Border Aussie named Casper (who is currently negotiating his ghostwriting contract).

Stephanie holds a B.A. in English from Sweet Briar College. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, two children, and famous dog.

When she’s not conversing with her furry friend, she enjoys being a portrait photographer, binge watching Netflix shows, and learning new dance moves to embarrass her two children on social media.
