I’m Serena, a Malaysian-Australian writer with a mole on my face and a story in my heart. I have written for The Independent, Vox, Refinery29, i-D, Dazed, Insider, South China Morning Post, The Sydney Morning Herald, SBS, ELLE, and more. I live in London.
In 2019, I left Australia in search of county fayres and opportunities to babysit my tiny nieces. Since then, I have taken to the Underground like a rodent and learnt to gird my loins against the lack of sunlight. I have also reported on women in the High Arctic, erotic humiliation on TikTok, mixed race identity, the UK's last lighthouse keepers, video dating, Georgian oligarchs, and fashion experiments nobody asked for.
I like to travel solo (32 countries and counting) and shoot aerial photography. My book How Women See The World reeks of both.
