Rhian Clare Walker holds a BA in Philosophy and Creative Writing from the University of Victoria, an MA in Philosophy, Religion and Literature from the University of Sussex and is currently working on an MDiv at the Vancouver School of Theology. Fortunately she was a terrible waitress and while getting educated in subjects that don't translate into clear jobs, she worked for non-profits and governmental organizations doing communications and leadership training. She is a mother, a singer with a few bands, a poet, and a softhearted pragmatist with a sharp tongue.
