About the Author

My name is Katelyn Ludwig. I'm the oldest of three children, and I'm originally from Adams, Massachusetts. I am 24 years old and currently living in Boston. I attended UMass Amherst as an undergrad, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor's in English. I also minored in psychology and completed the Professional Writing and Technical Communications Program.

After taking a year off, I started attending graduate classes at Emerson College in Boston. I entered the Department of Media Arts, studying primarily as a new media/web designer. I am planning to graduate in May 2006. This project, "Reinventing the Feminine: Bluestocking Women Writers in the 18th Century", is serving as my Master's project and qualifying me for graduation.

I am starting a job as a web development specialist and graphic designer in June at Illumina Interactive in Dedham, MA. I started as an intern with the company, and, after working there for a year, was offered a full-time position. In the future, I'd like to open my own web and graphic design company, working primarily as a freelance consultant and in a telecommuting capacity. I am also interested in attending law school or entering a PhD program in the future, depending on where my work path and environment takes me.

I really enjoy living in the city of Boston. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing blogs, cleaning, going out for drinks, going to museums and libraries, taking pictures, and watching movies. I love babysitting children, riding the orange line, the Boston Red Sox, Diet Coke and being with my family.
