My Passion
for Writing

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you” 
                                                                                                           - Maya Angelou

My Writing

I have always loved to write--consistently in  a journal since I was a kid and throughout high school where my best subjects were in English and English Literature (and Math!). This continued ever since and  I am now writing a memoir of my cancer experience which will be available soon. 

In the mean time, enjoy reading my short piece in a compilation from Simon Fraser University's Writers Studio program along with a few other writings.
