		Editor. A perpetual wanderer both literally and metaphorically, Noralil Ryan Fores grew up in a theater with an acting teacher for a mother and a professional videographer for a father. Right in line with her upbringing, she went on to study in the film program at Florida State University then jumped ship to grab a graduate degree in Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism from Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. She has interned for South Florida's City Link Magazine and served as an editorial assistant for MovieMaker Magazine. Currently, she lives and writes from Atlanta.
