Lorna Tychostup

Always on the go, Lorna Tychostup began her writing career covering the NAFTA-inspired Zapatista Revolution in Mexico and working for local Hudson Valley weeklies covering Town and School Board meetings – the root of the American government. Parlaying herself into covering local-to-global news and political issues in a regional magazine as Senior Editor, she traveled to Iraq in February 2003, the days before the bombing began.

 

Going back year after year, staying in unprotected hotels, she brought home the stories of all those encountered, from ordinary Iraqis on the street to high government officials.

 

Realizing she needed to know more to inform her readers better, she returned to school, earned an MS in International Relations from NYU’s Center for Global Affairs, and landed her dream job at the time… working for a USAID-funded project aimed at rebuilding Iraq.

 

Today, after working on several such projects, Lorna Tychostup is home between contracts, catching her breath while preparing for the next mission.
