Accomplishments
I hold a MA in Linguistics and specialize in intercultural communication. I've won two fiction awards as a novice fiction writer, but most of my publications are in the non-fiction area of my field. Now I'm gradually building credits in the field of children and young adult fiction.
I've published magazine articles, but prefer writing fiction for younger readers.
