Hello!
I am a writer based in Brooklyn, NY, originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I have written and reported on topics in tenant’s rights, climate change, and housing. I’m currently working on a novel about familial rifts, diasporic nostalgia, real estate and water rights, set in an artificial lake community on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona.
I hold a Master’s in City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and also currently work as an urban planner in NYC.
You can contact me at skramak1 at gmail dot com.
xoxo,
Saritha
