## Biography

My name is Spencer Pachta, I am almost 21 years old, and I can always find a way to get what I want. I am currently studying pop culture as a minor in hopes of working in the entertainment industry in comedy as a writer or coffee delivery person. I have a passion for movies, TV, and music; if you see me with headphones on, I’m either listening to NPR or Beyoncé. Known (and happy) to be the mom of any group. Please allow 7-10 business days for a creative comeback.
