She is originally from the US and has lived in Switzerland for eleven years, and now Vancouver for three. Previously, Skibo-Birney worked at the World Trade Organization and the US Capital, and has a professional and academic perspective on American Exceptionalism, which, along with Atwood, is never far from her mind.
