About Me

My photo
Megan E. Boyd
I'm a lawyer and legal writing professor who loves learning new things! I live in Atlanta with my two dachshunds, Elsie and Magnus. In my spare time, I enjoy running and have participated in numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, and half-marathons. I also love to travel and guest blog from time to time for www.flirtingwiththeglobe.com. I certainly do not claim to be perfect and am sure a discerning eye will catch errors in my posts. If you find such an error, please do not hesitate to email me at megan.e.boyd@gmail.com!
