Blair is a Red Wing native who’s called Rochester home since 2004. She splits her time between testing people’s thinking as a psychometrist at Mayo Clinic, and freelance writing — with bylines in Parents, The Bump, Insider, and more. Most days you can find her avoiding plans (and her to-do lists) in her cozy northeast Rochester home with her husband Rodney, son Kyus (2016), and their Dobie-mix, Roman. Keep up with what she's creating on Instagram @theblairsharpproject and learn more about her at blairsharp.com.
