About Us
Twilight Source is currently run by several college-aged students across the United States.
Created by Andrew, Laura, Elysa and Matt, the site launched in May 2008 and hopes to have
the privilege of becoming an integral part of the Twilight fandom. See below for
staff member bios.

I'm a 20-year-old born and raised on the East Coast but now living the dream in Southern California. I heard of the Twilight series through my work on MuggleNet and MuggleCast, both of which I've helped maintain for the past 5 years. So many Potter fans were starting to read Twilight that I decided to give it a try. Lo and behold, I loved it!
 Elysa Montfort
I'm a 22-year-old college student majoring in Political Science and History at a
university just outside Washington, D.C. I became a Twilight fan years ago, after
my friend Lei (see below!) suggested that I read it. I'm so glad that she did. Vampires aside, I'm an avid reader and writer,
my favorite authors being George Orwell and Daniel Quinn. I also have a passion for foreign policy, American history,
Stephen Colbert, Led Zeppelin, ADAM LAMBERT and... well, music in general.
 Matt Britton
I'm a 24-year-old college student born and raised in Southern California. I have been an affiliate of MuggleCast for a couple years now which is a Harry Potter Podcast. I first heard of Twilight during a recording session on MuggleCast when Potter fans were referring us to this new book series. I became a fan when Andrew and I went to get the first novel at the local bookstore and read it together and we were immediate fans. Putting the fangs and wand aside, I am a student at California State University Fullerton studying Film and love living in Orange County. I am a huge fan of movie scores. I have a passion for sarcasm and I also love watching South Park, Law & Order: SVU and Family Guy.
 Laura Thompson
I'm a 21-year-old college sophomore who spends her schooling months in beautiful northern Maryland and vacation time at home sweet home in Georgia. Like my cohorts, I've worked for MuggleNet and MuggleCast for a few years now, which is where I heard about Twilight in the first place. It was due to one fatal weekend when Elysa, Andrew, Matt, and myself were hanging out that our collective obsession with Twilight began. Aside from my various web-related addictions, I enjoy reading, writing, languages, and the occasional impromptu collective decision to go play in the rain at 3 am.
Staff Members
 Rachael
I am a college freshman studying animal science, intending to become a holistic veterinarian. My journey into the Twilight fandom began in a moment of despair when I realized that I had nothing to read. Needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since. This is my first foray into working for a fandom website, though I have been active in the Harry Potter fandom for years now. Outside of my internet life, I enjoy music (of which I could ramble on about for ages, but I will restrain myself for the staff’s sanity), reading, Christian Bale, photography, dogs, Doctor Who, existentialism, and thought-provoking movies.
 Samantha
I am a 21-year-old college student in Southern California (originally from Boston, go Red Sox!) majoring in political science and planning to continue on to further education of some sort. I was initially a Twilight skeptic, but decided to give it a chance on a long flight one day, and have been hooked ever since. I am a forum moderator here at TwilightSource, and also work on various other projects around the site. Some of my other interests include music, theatre, Harry Potter, London, and all things Aaron Sorkin.
 Isabel
I'm an 19 year old student majoring in Architecture at a college in Indiana, though my home for the past 19 years has been in the little but beautiful country of Ecuador. I've been part of the Twilight fandom for a little over a year now, and I appreciate the books for the countless hour of entertainment they have provided me and for the amazing people I've met through them. Other passions include music (especially Jason Mraz), playing instruments, singing, the abc series LOST, musicals, Harry Potter, the vlogbrothers, graphic design and general randomness, both on and offline.
 Ashlee
-aka Lovaela- I'm a 22 yr old college student majoring in Zoology who works at Busch Gardens Tampa, with a love for animals, photography, computers and graphic design. I'm an avid reader, film enthusiast, and console/pc gamer. I'm really glad to be apart of the TwilightSource team, and look forward to contributing as much as possible to the website and forums, as well as meeting so many of my fellow Twifans! I was born and raised in Oklahoma, but currently reside in mid-Florida with my boyfriend of over 2 years.
 Andrea Salazar
I’m a 19-year-old college junior double majoring in Journalism and Spanish. I grew up around the world and I'm currently attending college in New Mexico. As an avid Harry Potter fan, I heard about Twilight through MuggleCast. I was hesitant to read it, but fell in love with it from page one. Who says we can’t love both series? My work on Twilight Source consists of posting news and helping out with other projects on the main site--especially the Twidex. I also love politics, literature, movies, musicals, dancing, baking and watching football and hockey on the rare occasion that I have some free time.
 Saul Marquez
I'm an 18-year-old high school student who lives in hot hot Arizona. I first heard about Twilight when Stephenie Meyer did a book promotion and signing at our school. At the time, she was a local, new, and unknown author - Twilight had only just been released. I'm a big time Harry Potter fan as well as (more recently) The Hunger Games. I absolutely love to write. I self-published my first children/YA novel back in 2008 and plan to continue writing and publishing in the future. When I'm not writing I'm usually drawing, playing the piano or working on graphic design and other websites. I might also be a CIA agent, but you didn't hear that from me.
 Pamela Gocobachi
I'm a 22-year-old, college student studying Journalism and International Relations at San Francisco State University. I was born and raised in Northern California and in my opinion, there aren’t many places in the world that are more beautiful. I first picked up Twilight back in 2007 after seeing one too many references to Edward Cullen on various Harry Potter related websites and instantly fell in love with the series. Here on Twilight Source, I post news and help out with various main site projects including our amazing TwiDex.
Twilight and Harry Potter aside, I also love attending live alternative rock concerts, road trips down to SoCal, having random and unplanned adventures in San Francisco, musical theatre, the UK TV series Skins, and my dog Jasper.
 Abby
I'm the baby of the TwilightSource staff, as I'm only a sophomore in high school. I first discovered the Twilight series when I was in 7th grade and a friend of mine gave me New Moon for my birthday. It took me a while to read it, and once I finally did, I realized it was a series. I quickly found the prequel to it, but reading them out of order made me more of a Jacob fan than the usual Edward fangirl. I started working for the site in May of 2008, and now I manage the Twidex and create content for the site. I'm also fairly addicted to the TV show Lost, and I also love swimming, sailing, and reading.
 Kristyn
I’m a 27-year-old law school graduate living in Boston, MA. I went to school for history and political science in Illinois and moved to Boston to get my law degree. I first heard about Twilight through my Mom, an 8th grade teacher, when I was visiting family back home in Chicago. She knew when she recommended it to me I would be hooked. When not in the Twilight universe, I enjoy reading, listening to music (with a special fondness for Led Zeppelin), spending times with friends and family, playing soccer and tennis, watching my favorite TV shows, and cooking.
 Hannah Duff
I'm a 22 year-old from Scotland but now live and work in London for the BBC. I came across Twilight a year ago while reading a British movie magazine called Empire, which said that these books would be huge and could even rival Harry Potter. Intrigued I went out and bought Twilight and after reading the entire novel in one sitting, I knew I was hooked. On Twilight Source I help to manage the image gallery, work as a content writer for our amazing Twidex and lots of other odds and ends. It's a lot of fun! I love reading, museums, ancient history, learning Latin, TV, anything Scottish, politics, letter writing, photography and cupcakes (both baking and consuming!) Oh, and I'm definitely Team Edward.
 Nathalie
I'm a 19 year old premed student and resident French-Canadian on the forums. I spend half of my time in my national capital and the other in a suburb of Montreal and Ottawa. I got involed with the fantastic world of Twilight through my other obession, the equally magical world of Harry Potter. I am one of the moderators on the TwilightSource Forums. Other than my internet exploit, I love travelling, different cultures, winter sports and going out with friends.
 Greg Porter
I am a twenty-year old sophomore in college majoring in Art and Creative Writing, as well as the resident graphic designer here at Twilight Source. I hit the Twilight fandom a bit late as the plot line to me sounded a bit corny and harlequin. Oh, how wrong I was. I read Twilight in few days, sitting in a coffee shop during my breaks from work, and immediately continued to New Moon and Eclipse. Funny thing though, I actually designed this website before picking up any of the books. Aside from Twilight and reading in general, I also enjoy art (in many forms), writing and participating in the ritualistic consumption of imploded corn kernels while gazing upon large sheets of canvas with moving images broadcast upon them.
