Having spent her childhood in a civil service family surrounded by voracious readers and political discussions, Sreya nurtured a wish to write from an early age. She did her undergraduate studies in Political Science from Kolkata’s Presidency College and post-graduation from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. After a short stint as a journalist and college lecturer in Kolkata, she set off for her second Masters in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. She worked in public policy research and advocacy in U.S. think tanks and published numerous non-fiction articles and op-eds for newspapers and policy blogs. She currently lives in Chicago with her husband and son, and when she is not writing you will find her in the kitchen cooking up a spicy soup to fight Chicago’s icy winters.
