I was born in Singapore, raised in both Jakarta (Indonesia) and Singapore, and have called Toronto home since 2010. I received my BA in Linguistics and Spanish, with a minor in Latin American Studies in 2019, as well as my MA in Linguistics in 2020 at the University of Toronto. In what feels like a previous life, prior to my university studies, I served in the Singapore Armed Forces as a detachment sergeant in the 1st Commando Battalion.

In my spare time, I enjoy running, biking, snapping photos and taking long walks to soak in the sun — most of the time, if not always, with my rescue dog Mochi.
