I am a Vietnamese-Canadian children’s author, researcher, and educator, passionate about storytelling and creating spaces for underrepresented artists in mainstream media. I hold an H.B.A. in English from the University of Toronto and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education from Cambridge. I am currently Cambridge-based, pursuing my PhD in educational philosophy.

My literary work is represented by Rachel Letofsky of Cooke McDermid Literary Management.

CREATIVE WRITING FACILITATION

My workshops, open to all levels, focus on using writing as a tool for reflection and connection. They are designed around a theme and incorporate improv exercises, guided meditations, writing prompts, and space for sharing. Read more about my approach on Living Hyphen’s page.

I also create and facilitate personalized workshops for community-facing organizations and schools in English and French. Please reach out to book a private workshop or event, including author visits for book signings and readings.
