I am a published writer with over a decade of experience writing about various aspects of Vietnamese society for international and local outlets, including Australia's ABC and Vietnam's Tuoi Tre. I also served on the beloved local expat magazine Oi Vietnam. When I'm not at the writing desk, you can find me in the kitchen, telling you about the intricacies of chicken and veggies alike while swatting away a half dozen cats.
