R.L. MARSTELLAR

R.L. MARSTELLAR is a writer who took the scenic route through engineering offices, construction sites, executive suites, and kitchens. She studied engineering at Carnegie Mellon University because she listened to the sensible people who said she was good at math. She then went on to collect an M.S. in building construction from the University of Florida and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago—a trifecta of impressive credentials she now uses primarily to pad her bio.

 

Her work has appeared in Under the Gum Tree, The Ravens Perch, Evening Street Review, Midway Journal, and Bacopa Literary Review, where she garnered the 2018 prize for creative nonfiction.

 

She lives in Chicago.
