It's been a journey of self-discovery and perseverance, filled with highs, lows, and countless learning experiences.

Now, as the host of The Creative Chronicles, she's excited to shine a spotlight on other makers and their incredible stories. From exploring different art forms to uncovering the motivations behind their work, each episode will be a celebration of creativity and resilience.
