I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

I've only been living in England for the last 10 years, if you don't count my student years.

Quickly, after I landed in England, I found out ways to get scholarships. England turned out to be a very encouraging place for me.

I was an English major in college, and then I went to graduate school in English at the University of North Carolina for three years.

After high school, I went to Stanford University and majored in English. Of course, that gave me a chance to do lots more reading and writing. I also received degrees in London and Dublin - where I moved to be near a charming Irishman who became my husband!

I spent years overseas. I spent 11 years abroad.

I went to Cambridge University and was the first in my family to graduate.

I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with an English literature degree and travelled for a year before going to work.

I went to college for four years.

I grew up really fast when I moved to England when I was 12 years old.
