Dr. Tess Bird
anthropologist, writer, editor, facilitator
I spent nearly a decade as a medical anthropologist researching the human capacity to navigate the unknown during major life transitions. After a series of disruptive events in my own life, I left academia to become a full-time writer and editor, weaving my interests into both fiction and nonfiction. I currently offer uncertainty management and wellbeing workshops for organizations.
