Jeanne K Cosmos (Boston Chapter Co-Chair) Delegate, Facilitator of NWU Women’s Committee.

As a social activist, writing is a critical piece of that sensibility, which has been an integral part of my authentic self since childhood. I am Adjunct Faculty at Mass Bay Community College and a Visiting Lecturer at Northeastern University, teaching undergraduates not only writing, but critical thinking and independent thought. Teaching is a second career, after over 20 years as both an Assistant DA and Criminal Defense Attorney, Cambridge, MA. Being in the Criminal Justice system led to my creative writing at Goddard College, where I matriculated with my MFA in 2011. My murder mystery, Murder by the Beautiful Charles, launched in December 2021.
