Genevieve Scott Adjunct Faculty
When Genevieve was nine, the things she liked best in the world were writing rambling stories, tennis lessons on Toronto’s weather-cracked courts, and playing “school” with the kids across the street. In high school and college, Genenieve didn’t write as much, played less, and studied more boring things. In 2005, she got an MSc in Social and Public Communication from the London School of Economics, where she learned about rhetoric and got excited about words (and school!) again. After a decade-long career in communications, Genenieve returned to school for an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia. She moved to SoCal in 2013, and although she does miss Canada, this has been the perfect place to reunite with all her childhood loves: writing, tennis (year-round!), and, of course, being a teacher. Her first novel, Catch My Drift, will be published by Goose Lane Editions in Spring 2018. Genenieve has published short stories in North America and the UK, and her short films have screened at festivals worldwide. In her free time, she volunteers with WriteGirl, a creative writing and mentoring organization for underserved teen girls in LA.
