BIO

Born and bred in Europe, my life's odyssey has woven through the vibrant tapestries of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, each chapter unveiling a myriad of experiences and roles. From navigating the intricate landscapes of agricultural projects to illuminating minds as a political science educator, my journey has been as diverse as the cultures I've encountered.

Amidst the bustling lanes and fragrant stalls of Tel Aviv's Carmel market, I found sanctuary and inspiration, where every sight, scent, and sound fueled my creative endeavours. Now, back in the heart of Continental Europe, my narrative unfolds further as I embark on new literary ventures, exploring the intersections of art and terror, and unravelling their enigmatic depths with each stroke of the pen.

Beyond the realms of literature, I traverse the intricate landscapes of politics, specialising in conflict resolution for the tumultuous terrains of the Middle East and Africa. Additionally, I lend my linguistic prowess as a translator and my editorial finesse to various online publications and esteemed academic journals.

As a member of the Brussels Writers Workshop, I am thrilled to continue my journey alongside fellow wordsmiths, each step an adventure, each page a revelation. Join me as we craft narratives, share stories, and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
