A native of the American Deep South, I’ve worked, studied, and lived in eight countries. Nowadays, my feet are firmly planted in Bangalore. Since 2005 my Bangalore life has included raising two sons, starting up two businesses with my India-born husband, and working in a major MNC. I’m crazy about the birds of South India and can be spotted daily with the Merlin app open on my phone and eyes fixed on the sky. 80 species and counting! I hold a Bachelor’s in Literature from Auburn University and a Master’s in International Management from Thunderbird in Arizona. My latest and most favorite educational pursuits have been participating in writing workshops.
