Meet the Team

DaRonn Washington
I’m DaRonn. I am the owner of The Book Nook. I have been in the book industry since 2017 and have a bachelor’s in business. I got my start selling online and out of the back seat of my car until I was able to live my dream of opening a brick and mortar store.

Brittny Escamilla
It’s Brittny here! My experience with the book industry has been on-n-off these last few years. My true passion is data analytics. So it’s been a dream come true working with the Book Nook.
