Hayley grew up just outside of Los Angeles, but she fell in love with Chico when she attended CSUC to study journalism in 2003.
After college, she went back to L.A. to work as a freelance music journalist.

After years of being away Hayley is happy to be back in her home state and in the city she fell in love with as a college student.
