1. Where did you grow up?
I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our family moved to Singapore when I was 5 years old, so I spent most of my childhood years growing up in Singapore.

Matthew 25:40.
Jesus’ words in this verse have been instrumental in my calling and continues to be my guiding post.

The entire “Harry Potter” series.
I love being transported to an alternate universe and love seeing good and love triumph over evil and hate.

5. What is one little-known fact about yourself?
When I was attending Baylor University, I and four other girls from the dorm Bible study group I was leading went to the David Koresh compound during the FBI stakeout, flirted with the ATF agents, and they let us in!
