Xenya Currie grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and comes to New Haven from Philadelphia, where she spent a year living in an intentional community and working at a tuition-free middle school in the city. Before that, she earned her B.A. from Bryn Mawr College in English with a minor in philosophy. She is fascinated by the intersection of religion and literature, particularly in Victorian and nineteenth-century Russian texts. In her free time, she loves reading, going on long walks, and exploring local coffee shops in search of the best oat lavender latte.
