Mira Saraf
Mira Saraf studied psychology and English at McGill University. When she graduated, she wanted to pursue journalism but somehow ended up working in Montreal's garment industry. From there, she moved to New York to attend FIT. She worked there for a year before moving back to Toronto to work for Winners. Two and a half years in, a few months after getting promoted, she realized her dream to be a journalist had never quite gone away. So, in November 2009, she left her cushy cubicle, quit the corporate world forever and entered the unpredictable world of freelance writing.Recent Articles
