Hi, I'm Joyce!
Writer
...of all kinds, including creative story writer, screenwriter, amateur journalist. Also: book-lover, Vancouverite, and spreadsheet nerd.
I’m a UBC Creative Writing + MM student who’s just trying to figure life out. A storyteller at heart, I love wielding the English language to articulate the world around me. I see beauty in written words like astrophysicists see beauty in cosmic bodies.
​
Thanks for checking out some of my written work!
