After grad­u­at­ing high school as the class vale­dic­to­rian,
Rupin­der stud­ied Arts at the Uni­ver­sity of Toronto then moved back into her par­ents’ base­ment for a year. Her first book, On The Out­side Look­ing Indian, was released in March 2011 and was short­listed for the Stephen Lea­cock Memo­r­ial Medal for humour writ­ing. She has also writ­ten for The National Post, McSweeneys, CBC Radio and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
In her spare time, Rupin­der enjoys overeat­ing and watch­ing lots of tele­vi­sion, prefer­ably at once. If she could host a dream din­ner party, it would include Woody Allen, Bea Arthur and John Rit­ter. If she could only take one thing to a desert island, it would be a yacht.
She is cur­rently work­ing on a new book.
