About me
Creative and internationally-minded writer, researcher, musician, and all-round creative. I'm an active writer of both fiction and non-fiction, with an interest in international politics, history, AI, space exploration, fandom culture, and scifi-fantasy. I have experience in communications work, research, editing, and events management. I've published short stories in 3 amateur zines and have an academic publication upcoming. I also have ten years' experience in the performing arts sector in Singapore, primarily vocal performance at a semi-professional level with some experience in drama, backstage work, and narration. Skills include editing fiction and non-fiction, social media management, content creation (written and graphic), basic video and audio editing, and a solid understanding of computer tools on both Windows and Mac OS. Originally from Singapore, I'm now resident in Europe.
