I'm a passionate, committed vegan and supporter of animal rights. I spend a good deal of my time volunteering at Philly PAWS (http://www.phillypaws.org), cooking and baking delicious vegan dishes, reading, and wandering my new city of Philadelphia. I'm a former medical editor who is currently a freelance writer and blogger at Mutual Menu (http://mutualmenu.blogspot.com) and Vegans of Color (http://vegansofcolor.wordpress.com). I dedicate my bio and most of my work to the dog I had the honor of living with for over 14 years, Luckie (1994-2008) and to the countless animals around the world who needlessly suffer by our hands.
