Tiffany is a current University of Sydney student completing her Bachelor of Design in Architecture. She loves collecting degrees, having completed a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology and a Masters in Occupational Therapy before deciding to switch to something more creative. Tiffany can usually be found wandering and lost in the world of a good book.
Her favorites include The Hours by Michael Cunningham, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders, and a healthy dose of all Agatha Christie.
