Born in Singapore and raised in Canada to multi-racial parents, Gemma is a self-proclaimed travel and food junkie. Having traveled extensively around the world, Gemma has called Singapore, Bangkok, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Lyon home. For the time being, she is located in Lyon, France, and is trying to figure out her next home base. She speaks fluent Mandarin, Thai, English, and French and is currently improving her conversational Italian skills. Although she prefers a life of free spirited travel than one spent cooped up in an office (who wouldn't?), she is currently bound to a desk. Even so, it involves writing, which makes the long hours under fluorescent lighting bearable. During her free time, you will probably find her off on an adventure seeking great books, good movies, and even better food.
