ABOUT ME
I am an Australian living in Boston for the past 5 years. My husband originally comes from Sydney and I come from Melbourne. We had our twin girls in Boston nearly two years ago. I enjoy watching movies and baking. I am also addicted to sciTwitter and listening to true crime and politics podcasts.
