Patricia Kelly Yeo
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kelly was raised on a steady diet of Koreatown's old school KBBQ, SGV Chinese dumplings, and lamb koobideh courtesy of her Beverly Hills Persian uncle. (Yes, by marriage.) A graduate of both USC and UCLA, she lives in a state of blissful unawareness about either school's sportsball antics, and now spends most of her time reading books to combat the internet's brain worms.
