Originally from the U.K., her paid job is now working as an editor for an international financial newswire, and her unpaid job is taking care of two young girls. With almost two decades experience as as journalist, she has lived and worked in London, Paris, Hanoi and Tokyo, covering stories as diverse as the introduction of the euro, and Vietnamese businessmen snapping up agricultural land to build golf courses. When she’s not doing all this, she can sometimes be found upside-down in a yoga pose, up a mountain, or in the sea with a scuba tank on her back. She likes to hear people’s’ stories, and hopes to bring these to FEW with an interesting and diverse range of speakers.
