Arpita Ghosal (she/her/hers)
As a child, Arpita pestered her storyteller grandmother for “just one more story” so incessantly that her mother taught her to read out of desperation. Her love of stories led her to a PhD in English literature, a career in public and post-secondary education, and a passion for arts journalism. Arpita regularly interviews artists and authors to help them share their stories, and she remains an avid reader (with a special interest in children’s literature). She works at the TDSB, where she has held various teaching and leadership roles, and writes constantly at Sesaya Arts Magazine. And she is mother to three remarkable children and a one-of-a-kind rescue dog — and possesses an insatiable wanderlust and deep curiosity about arts experiences.
