Margaret Walker
Editorial Manager
Bio

She is passionate about travel, cooking, gardening, and animals. She is usually immersed in music, movies, and books.
Alexis Nesbit
Design Manager
Bio
I have an English degree and a BFA in design, and those two degrees sum me up pretty nicely. I love decorating, gardening, and the endless tweaking that goes with them. I enjoy my kids (8 and 10) the older they get, but simultaneously want them to stop growing—is that possible??

When she’s not careening across the countryside on her horse, hiking through the wilderness with her dog, or rescuing yet another animal, she can be found, cup of tea in hand, working away on medical journals, CME programs, and federal government proposals. She holds degrees in English, medieval studies, and classical languages. In short, she has spent an inordinate amount of her life in university classrooms and libraries. Her medieval Latin and Old Norse reading groups keep her from total academic withdrawal.
