Pronouns: she/her.
I’ve loved Tolkien since childhood and want to get into Tolkien scholarship; I’m from Scotland/Canada but also lived in New Zealand (1 year) and Thailand (3 years); I have a Bachelors in Indigenous Studies with a focus on Canadian and Southeast Asian Indigenous peoples. Professionally, I’ve spend the last 13 years working on Canada Indian residential school reconciliation.
hobbies: besides madly pursuing my love of Tolkien, queer theory/history and literature and language, I also write prose & poetry, play music, and draw and I’m busy raising my two little kids. …There is very little in I haven’t been interested in at some point during my life…
