H. S. Gilchrist’s ambitions of becoming a real-life Indiana Jones (degree in Anthropology) seeded her love for world cultures and history but conjured no realistic job prospects. So, she set aside the thrill of chasing ancient curses for the rigors of a twenty-year career in information technology, where she’s worked as both a technician (“I fix broken stuff”) and a data analyst (“I save management a lot of work”).
Outside of work, she grooms her daughter into becoming a fellow nerd (it’s sort of working) and, whenever a quiet moment takes her, she writes the adventures she wishes she could live.
