Born on July 18, 1977, in New York City, Dave attended Scarsdale High School before going on to the University of Virginia and then the University of Pennsylvania. She writes in English and works as a novelist. The educational path she followed, moving through two universities after her secondary schooling, gave her a grounding that she carried into her career as a writer. Beyond those biographical facts, what the record shows is straightforward: she is an American novelist, a citizen of the United States, producing work in the English language.
The facts available about Dave are relatively spare when it comes to critical reception or specific honors, and so the biography closes on what can be said with confidence. She was born in New York City in 1977, she was educated at Scarsdale High School, the University of Virginia, and the University of Pennsylvania, and she has built a career as an American novelist writing in English. Those are the anchors her record provides, and they place her as a working novelist whose career has extended into the twenty-first century.
