Reading and writing have always been a crucial part of my life, and as I grew and learned, they became a love for journalism and creative writing, which I am now pursuing. Throughout my life, creativity has been omnipresent—I was lucky enough to grow up with dance, music, books, and art. Coming from a mixed but fully Mediterranean cultural background and having grown up in the Middle East, my upbringing has had a significant influence on the art that I create.

I hold a BA in English and Comparative Literature, in which my dissertation focus was the separation of women’s literature within the South Korean literary canon, and an MA in Fashion Journalism, in which my master’s project was a journal focusing on how neurodivergent conditions influence the artistic process, both within and outside of the fashion industry. Both of these topics are ones I’m deeply passionate about and would love to expand on in time, in whatever way I’m able to, although I do hope to pursue a PhD at some point in the future. Throughout researching both of my research topics, I have also garnered a deep interest in various social causes and movements, which is something I have grown to find extremely important as I’ve grown.

Alongside writing, I’ve taken various day jobs over the last couple of years, including waitressing, editing, administration, copywriting, and office management. I have been writing creatively since my teenage years but have only been pursuing journalistic writing for about a year and a half now. While I greatly enjoy fashion journalism, I’m also more than happy to branch out into other fields that interest me, such as culture, politics, and entertainment. I’ve had several of my short stories published under my pen name, and I’m now looking for more professional writing opportunities, with hopes of starting my own publication once I move.

Aside from my creative endeavors, I love staying active by going to the gym, dancing, and taking long, aimless walks. I’m also a polyglot and am always open to learning new languages I can use whenever I’m able to take time to travel. I’m well-known for picking up and moving around on a regular basis—while London is currently my base, the next stop in 2025 is Paris, where I hope to settle down for a bit longer. I’m also a lover of sewing, film, cooking, and baking, and I am always more than open to trying out new hobbies and learning new things, especially if they keep me creative and active.
