About
Me

Currently a graduate student in the paracosm of English literature at The University of New Orleans, Veronika Lee has already lived well over nine lives. Originally from Philadelphia, PA, she has worked as an obituary writer, film and television casting director for Paramount Pictures and CBS, and as a digital media journalist, covering entertainment and pop culture. She has lived all over the major Northeastern seaboard cities for most of her life until relocating to the South in 2015. She has also occupied space in Oslo, Linz (Austria), and Paris. 

​

Her ultimate love is crafting short fiction about the embarrassment in every day life, quantum mechanics, and Many World theories. Her influences are Oscar Wilde, Tarjei Vesaas, and Matthew Baker and she has studied writing at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop and Emory University's Creative Writing Program.  

​

As a graduate student, she has made ends meet by writing for various entertainment publications. She is now teaching freshmen English at UNO.

 

She considers herself the world's okayest guitar player, heavily inspired by Kurt Cobain, and writes and records her own music.
