She was born in Johannesburg and grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where she attended the American school. She has lived in London since 1993, where she moved after completing a B.A. in Developmental Psychology from Smith College, MA.

Now she lives just outside London with her family. She loves reading, eating chocolate, spending time with kids and travelling to exciting new places. Her favourite colour is blue and, ever since she was little, her favourite animals were elephants.
