I’m a novelist, speaker, translator, and former teacher of English as a Second Language. My work has always been about stories—how they shape who we are, help us connect across cultures, and give us the courage to imagine a different future.

Drawing on my experience as a writer, educator, and someone who has built a life between several countries, I speak about creativity, writing, cultural identity, and the courage to begin again.

My talks combine research, storytelling, and practical insights, leaving audiences inspired to think differently about their own lives and work.
