Well, hello there …

Welcome to my site!

I’ve been writing for almost 35 years but I guess my short story in grade 1 doesn’t quite count for professional experience.

My online writing began back in university where I studied journalism in the late 1990s. After a few years behind a desk, I took the chance to do some travelling and thanks to the advice from a good friend, I started my blog. Read more about my travels and adventures in the early 2000s.

These days I fill my time as a Content Designer. The intersection of words and technology has been a perfect fit for a word nerd like me.

I’ve been leaning more into fiction since 2015 and am slowly building up a portfolio. More importantly, this work has led me to meet some of the most kindred spirits as part of the Oxford Writing Circle and the London Writers’ Salon.

I’m inquisitive about the world, love learning new things and am fascinated by people. As an extrovert, you will find me spending time with other humans, socializing over some drinks in a pub, heading to see live theatre or comedy or heading out for a long walk in the beautiful nature that surrounds me here in Oxford.

I’m a proud daughter, aunt, sister and wife. I count myself lucky to love so many wonderful people.

This site will continue to grow but for now, hope you enjoy getting to know me a bit more.
