A. R. Vish­ny was born and raised in Mass­a­chu­setts but now calls New York City home. Her essays on Jew­ish rep­re­sen­ta­tion in pop cul­ture have appeared in Teen Vogue, the Wash­ing­ton Post, and Hey Alma. She earned a BA in Eng­lish at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mass­a­chu­setts Amherst and a JD at the Ben­jamin N. Car­do­zo School of Law, where she was a Law and Lit­er­a­ture fel­low. When she’s not writ­ing, she’s at the the­ater or else hunt­ing for the per­fect slice of cheesecake.
