Sara Goldblatt is a current M.A. in the Magazine Program at NYU. Sara graduated from Yale in 2006, with a degree in Political Science. After graduation, she worked as a translator for the Antimafia police in Rome, Italy (Sara, despite her last name, is Italian, so this makes slightly more sense). She then taught 4th grade at an International School in Seoul, South Korea. Last year, Sara interned at The Onion in New York, where she learned the fine art of early morning sarcasm.
