About
My name is Melissa Story. In case you’re wondering, yes, that’s my real last name. I’ve been told that I was born to write – at the very least, I have the name of a writer. I’ve certainly loved to write for as long as I can remember. You’ll notice that one of my favourite topics to blog about is religion. Religion is one of the most fascinating human phenomenons, in my opinion. I’m deeply concerned about (ir)religious intolerance. Occasionally, I also blog about other topics – and occasionally, I post about very inane things. Generally, if I find it interesting, I’ll blog about it.
I’ve spent most of my academic career studying psychology and religion. This culminated in obtaining a combined Honours degree in Psychology and Religion from Carleton University in 2013. Although I don’t consider myself religious, I do consider myself a student of all religions.
