Ronda has left academic life as a Ph.D. student in philosophy in order to pursue the writer's life. While she will always remember Kant and Hegel fondly, she is rejoining forces with her first love: crafting fiction and poetry. Ronda holds a Master's Degree in Philosophy from Northern Illinois University and a Bachelor's degree in philosophy from California State University, Chico. Her work has appeared in Black Hole Online, Artisan Journal, and Poetry Motel. In addition to a love for writing and philosophy, Ronda enjoys political debate, ethics, film, literature and art.
