I am a writer, editor, communications professional in international development, and mother to a small boy with a humongous personality. I'm also a Pakistani immigrant to the U.S., and grew up in the city of Karachi. I live in the D.C. suburbs with my son. I love books, mountains, road trips, and pasta, and and I am terrible at sports. I like to think I have my act together, and get along famously with those who do, too!
