Meet the Author
Former academic. Current satirist. Forever questioning why faculty meetings exist.
After surviving years in the academic trenches—where "publish or perish" wasn't just advice but a genuine existential threat—I discovered that the best way to process the absurdity was to write about it. With satire.
My books are for everyone who's ever wondered why professional development seminars exist, why parking is always a battlefield, and why "synergy" became a word we all pretend to understand.
