Autorenporträt
Eileen M. Cunniffe has undergraduate degrees in English and Honors from Villanova University and a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Her professional career has included roles in healthcare communication, public affairs, the nonprofit arts sector, and higher education-all of which helped her find her voice as a writer. Her earliest essays were first-person travel narratives, but she has also explored identity and experience through the lenses of family, work, and the (part-time) writing life. From 2013-2021, she was a regular contributor to Nonprofit Quarterly, covering arts and culture. Her writing has appeared in literary journals and anthologies. Four of her essays have been recognized with Travelers' Tales Solas Awards and another received the Emrys Journal 2013 Linda Julian Creative Nonfiction Award.
