BIO: Poonum Desai started her writing career in her early 20’s after finishing her master’s in public policy. She discovered her interest in writing after she originally picked writing up as a hobby to deal with the joys of adulting. Poonum wrote her first book, Sincerely, Life, as a way to explore the depths of her personal philosophy on all facets life has to offer. Poonum writes pieces on culture, fitness, finance, and economics in her spare time which can be found on her website. When Poonum is not working or writing, she can always be found at a concert or the gym, as music and fitness are two of her passions. Poonum currently resides in Dallas, Texas.
