Becoming a freelance writer was the natural thing for me to do.
My mother sowed the seeds for my adopting a writing career early on: She was a teacher by trade, but - as someone who was never short on questions for all she encountered - she demonstrated a curiosity I came to emulate, and, by turning a critical eye to my essay drafts throughout my school years, introduced me to the painstaking - yet rewarding - process of editing. Like many in my extended family, I’ve been a book lover since the beginning, but I've also prospected the depths of my own imagination by writing short stories while growing up.
Although my childhood dream was to become a writer, in my 20s I cut a wide swath experimenting with ‘things-to-be’, including musician, ESL teacher/tutor, assistant manager of a fitness centre, student (I have my BA in English) and administrator. Those experiences led me back to the dream of my youth - now, I'm happy to say, I'm a professional freelance writer.
I’m passionate about health and fitness, so my focus is on writing health, fitness and lifestyle pieces. However, I’m always interested in exploring topics outside of these areas.
In my hours apart from writing, I can be found baking sugar-free desserts/snacks, in the gym lifting weights or boxing, reading and traveling.
