About
The person behind the experiment.
An embodiment of living chaos. Things that shouldn’t coexist sit very comfortably in me.
I’ve travelled the world, eaten the wildest foods, bungee jumped screaming this is fucking very fun. I am also paranoid about viruses, taxis, and all-men boardrooms. I have odd interests; my book collection is a polite warning.
I got my bachelor’s in the UK, then lived in China for 4 years, working in marketing for an American eyeglasses brand. Became a mom. Made six figures investing, which gives me some breathing space while I figure out my next chapter.

Currently reading.
Three books, in rotation:
- Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine by David Petraeus and Andrew Roberts
- What Is Intelligence? by Blaise Agüera y Arcas — because the brain is the strangest thing I’ve ever tried to understand
- Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn — for the joy of it, cuz bridgerton
The last book that changed how I think about writing.
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Loved every bit of it; what really stuck was the dialogue — how it carries the world-building, builds the rules of the world without ever pushing the work onto the reader.
