CURRENT MISSION

To be whimsical and spontaneous (and have a detailed, colour-coded itinerary)

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm an active, smiley kind of human with too many hobbies and not enough money or time to do them! I'm an aspiring writer and I'm currently trying to finish a novel and become better at drawing so I can write a comic. Whilst I'm not doing that I'm mostly scratching away learning the violin, watching films, painting, reading, walking, or at the pub.

I have a creative writing degree but went on to complete teaching and psychology postgraduate courses. I now live in Oxford and work at the publishers Oxford University Press.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to stick to one philosophy.

Interests

Creative writing, films, reading, philosophy, drawing/painting/, walking and cycling, travelling (obviously), concerts and gigs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be an English teacher so I could help with language skills. I can also humbly offer what little knowledge I have about philosophy, psychology, music and. . .oh, I can teach you how to juggle.
