​Charlene Anderson received a Master’s degree in English Literature from Purdue University, and after working at the Indianapolis Public Library, moved to San Francisco. She worked at UCSF for over 30 years, most recently as a grant analyst managing an NIH SCCOR grant. During that time, she returned to school at SFSU and received another Master’s degree, this time in Research Psychology. But before she had a chance to change careers using her shiny new MA, the writing bug bit as it had intermittently done throughout her life and she stayed at UCSF, plunged back into writing and in 2001 published a novel entitled, Berkeley’s Best Buddhist Bookstore. In 2008, she took up painting for the first time and loves it, not as much as writing, but a lot. She has served as Chair of the Editorial Board of Vistas & Byways since it launched in 2015.
