A. E. Lee started her career in Pennsylvanian politics, hoping it would be just like her favorite TV show The West Wing, but she quickly learned it was not. Long hours, little pay, and even less respect eventually convinced her it was time for a change, and she embarked on a second career in education. She is now a beloved sixth-grade teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia, where she resides with her fiancé and their beautiful children.
