I am very interested in female characters and bringing a new perspective to mediums where not necessarily that's been valued at all.

Like a lot of young women, I went through an entire period where I hated female characters - I didn't want to read about them! I thought I was going to be the cool girl who was not like other girls.

Support the female voice in all its forms. Support other female creators and work to make an environment that is inclusive and allows female-led projects to thrive organically.

I was always looking for the female characters in sci-fi and fantasy who were more than just the girlfriend.

My translation work has been pretty separate from my fiction, as it was basically an accidental side project that turned into a separate and parallel career.

I didn't really intend on having a music career. It just kind of happened.

Seek out a personal coach or mentor in the workplace. He/she should push you when you need it by encouraging and motivating you. Don't be afraid of their honesty.

My first obligation is my job. It's very hard to really get into campaign mode when you've got to focus on doing the work.
