Choose Your Own Adventure Spies: Noor Inayat Khan

Rana Tahir is a Kundiman Fellow and author of two books. She is an educator with experience teaching middle school, high school, and undergraduate courses, and received her MFA from Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR. Born in Pakistan and raised on the beaches of Kuwait, she left home to study writing across the United States. When not at her desk preparing lesson plans, writing, or researching, she can be found jumping into lakes and rivers during long hikes, even though she always forgets a bathing suit and must sit in the car in her cold, wet clothes on the ride home. She is a Cancer sun and moon, so she never regrets being in water. She lives in Portland, OR with her husband and two cats.
