Robbin Juris has had a multifaceted career as a magazine editor, artist, and non-profit board member. After studying English literature at Brooklyn College and Columbia University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, she became an assistant editor at the Journal of Basic Writing, an academic publication that focused on the teaching of writing to college students. She went on to become an associate editor at Computer Decisions magazine, where she wrote in-depth feature articles on mainframe computing and IT practices.
