ABOUT
I am an author and illustrator, igniting my lifelong passion for writing and art after dedicating over a decade to higher education and research in Computer Science.
​
My journey took a profound turn following the heartbreaking loss of my daughter, Maya—a lively 15-year-old brimming with dreams of sharing her own stories. In her honour, I adopted the pen name Mama Maja, channeling my grief into a source of strength and resilience. This transformative experience taught me to embrace life with a fresh perspective, to cherish every moment, and to recognize my own worth.
​
Today, I pour my heart into creating books for both children and adults, sharing the invaluable lessons I’ve learned along the way. My stories strive not just to entertain but to inspire readers to navigate their own life challenges with grace and courage, fostering a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
