I have always been fascinated by how people use language. As a child growing up in a bi-cultural home, I had a front row seat to the beauty and the struggle of intercultural communication.

I have always been writing – most centrally around the stories of my childhood and reflections on a life immersed in language as an art. My work has been described as exquisite of character, spellbinding, and deeply human.

I am currently working on a memoir expanded from my linguistic academic research project around my family’s language and identity loss during wartime in Serbia.

I bounce between my work as a writer, a consultant and collaborative projects in the field of linguistics. Areas of linguistic research I primarily enjoy include translation, translanguaging & multilingualism, as well as borderland identity and voices of the Global East.
