Cindy Scott Traeger is a first-year graduate student at the University of Washington, where she is working toward her master's of library and information science (MLIS). She is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a BA in multimedia journalism and English. She fancies herself a good, old-fashioned bibliophile with a penchant for programming. Or a web developer with a fondness for Shakespeare.

As an undergraduate, Cindy studied at St Edmund Hall, Oxford and in so doing fell irretrievably in love with the "land of hope and glory." She aspires to return to the UK soon and often. Until then, please humo(u)r her eccentric Anglophilia.

She is an assistant web content editor for UNC Global and a contributing writer for Anglotopia.net. She enjoys playing with her Tumblr blog, The Lamp Said Four O'Clock, in her spare time. She also writes loads of poetry and fiction which she suspects isn't much good really, but she would love it if you disagreed.

Cindy was born in the deepest depths of the deep American south but she doesn't sound much like it. She grew up roaming from place to place and has lived in almost every corner of the U.S. She enjoys the bits along the ocean most.

She resides in western Washington state at the moment with her husband, William, and their pet hedgehog, Sir Bilbo Sonic Traeger, Esq. You never can tell where they'll turn up next.
