My name is Kylie McCormick, and I was born on 7 May 1986 in Norwalk, CT, USA. I grew up in Stamford, CT. During the beginning of my education I focused on computers, websites, and sometimes on my writing. As I began high school, I began researching something I loved quite dearly: dragons. Since I was young, I had an interest in dragons. My love of dragons was probably founded upon the fact that one of my oldest toys was an old, ragged dragon (missing one eye) and her 'son', a smaller dragon stuffed animal.
In May 2008, I graduated from Mount Holyoke College, the first of the Seven Sister colleges, with a B.A. in Computer Science and Theatre Arts. For three summers, I worked as an intern and later a research assistant at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center in Fairbanks, AK. I worked on Multisearch, a form of Grid Information Retrieval. My focus in computer science is information retrieval.
In theatre, my foci are directing and dramaturgy. I directed six plays during my college education, including Shakespeare's Macbeth, Jarry's Ubu Roi, and Ensler's The Vagina Monologues. I dramaturged five shows, including Wolfe's The Colored Museum and Churchill's Far Away.
When I turned 18, I got a tattoo of a red wyvern with blue undertones on the back of my left arm. When I turned 21, I got a tattoo of a purple ouroboros with yellow undertones wrapped around a Yin Yang on the back of my right arm.
I enjoy reading, namely fantasy novels. Robin McKinley, who wrote The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown, and J. K. Rowling, author of the popular Harry Potter series are two of my favorite authors. J. R. R. Tolkien (his non-Middle Earth books especially), Terry Pratchett, and Craig Shaw Gardner are also authors that I enjoy reading. While I do like books with dragons within them, I like non-dragon related fantasy books as well.
I was raised Catholic, but for a very long time I identified as agnostic or an agnostic Christian. However, at the age of nineteen I decided to become a Christian again, and I returned the to Catholic Faith.
In my spare time, I like to read, write, bowl, play chess, draw, and see theatre.
