I like to write in various genres. I have a BA in English Literature and a MA in International Policy Studies emphasizing Conflict Resolution. I'm getting back into writing short stories after working as a federal political analyst for a couple of years. I like all types of writing and am still developing my voice. I enjoy the process absurdly!
