PhD researcher by day // spoken word artist by night
Half-Malaysian and half-American, I have lived in nearly a dozen countries spread across the globe in my short life. I picked up a fascination with language and culture along the way, so perhaps my dual (dueling?) identities will come as little surprise to you. Whether you’re interested in my research or my poetry, I hope you’ll enjoy learning about my work.
