A faceless bureaucrat in DC by day, Lillian McTernan spends her free time running, reading, listening to podcasts, and watching too much TV. Prior to becoming a faceless bureaucrat, she got her M.A. in International Security from the University of Denver. She also spent a year living in East Jerusalem, where she refined her talents as a hummus connoisseur while studying Hebrew and Arabic. She's unhealthily obsessed with library books, coffee mugs, tea, scented candles, and Instagram, and she has zero self-control when in the presence of candy or ice cream.
