About Me — Karen Lam
Loves a good cup of tea and strong belly laughs
Greetings! I’m thrilled you found me, and I’m optimistically assured our paths will cross again — small world.
Depending on how our paths have intersected will depend on what you know about me, and my interests — much of which I personally find fascinating.
If you knew me as a child
You would have known me as an individual who is very shy — a classic introvert. I was voted most likely to become a book in my elementary school yearbook, which at the tender age of twelve, felt fairly insulting. I laughed along with my peers, only to mask my own insecurities of being labelled as…BORING!
If you knew me as a teenager
You would have known me as an individual who is prone to excited arm waving and speaking with hand gestures. I could often be found reading, and had a fond affection for 19th century fiction, particularly Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Naturally, dear reader, I had an affinity towards public speaking, but ironically would be perpetually terrified of presentations, so would defer to a more extroverted colleague to speak to the group.
