Biography

I am a child psychiatrist and an award-winning author. I was born in Sri Lanka, grew up in Ghana and spent time in England and Wales before settling down in California. My debut novel, The Fortune Teller's Prophecy: A Memoir of an Unlikely Doctor won a publication deal and was released in April, 2024 by She Writes Press. It is distributed by Simon and Schuster. My screenplay is in consideration for a limited TV series by Playtone, IMAGINE Entertainment and Amazon Prime. My memoir describes how a botched Green Card for America, made me a refugee in Wales, me with a “dead-end” job in California where I remove human heads to get off welfare. I attended medical school at UC Davis as a single mother. My current novel, ANDOREA, was inspired by my experience working as a psychiatrist in a jail in Redwood City. I teach at a local medical school and work as a child psychiatrist three days a week when I’m not writing.
