Margaret grew up in Los Angeles, attended Reed College and moved to Atlanta to begin her Ph.D. at Emory University in Spanish and Women's Studies. She loves to hike and camp, especially with her lab-mix George (named after George Costanza of Seinfeld). She first started studying Spanish literature as a way to connect with her Mexican-Jewish roots as her great-grandparents moved from Poland to Mexico at the start of the Holocaust. She also enjoys cooking, crafting, dance and farmer's markets.
