more about the writer

I’m a 25 year old who lives in london (previously hong kong and los angeles), and I love writing about the human experience through a mental health and personal wellness perspective.

the corporate introduction:

I received my bachelors in economics and sociology from a women’s college, and went on to study behavioural science at the london school of economics. I’m currently working as a research assistant for a professor of economics researching issues related to gender and labour — specifically policies and historical trends around issues regarding motherhood. (bleugh, boring)

the artist-focused introduction:

I love to think of myself as a creative: a photographer, a writer, and (deep breath) a content creator. I love sharing my perspective on life and social issues and emotional intelligence through writing, whether that be the advice-focused section of the weekly newspaper or, more recently, mini essays.

the well-rounded introduction:

I find the most peace when I am surrounded by the mountains. I love long backpacking trips (most notable being my month-long backpacking trip in the backcountry of alaska) and hikes, high intensity cardio like running and indoor spin, and anything creative. I’m a reader and a hobbyist, and I’ve recently picking up knitting in an attempt to both live a slower life and also practice sustainable fashion.

more about the newsletter

The format of the 1-1-1 newsletter is inspired by James Clear’s 3-2-1 newsletter. In each edition, I share:

• 1 quote,

• 1 journal prompt, and

• 1 piece of advice

to help you live the life of your dreams. some weeks will have a more niche topic (dissociation, content creation, college advice, etc), and some weeks will be more general. what doesn’t change is the quality of content you’ll get in each newsletter.

more about mini 1s

over time, I found writing the 1-1-1 to be slightly restrictive. I started writing voiceovers for my instagram but I found that condensing large ideas into a 60-second video, and having to accompany that with fast edits and gorgeous b-roll, wasn’t the way I wanted to share my ideas. I started the mini 1 as a way for me to sporadically share my thoughts on culture, technology, society, personal growth, and everything in between.
