About Sarah Ayoub

Sarah Ayoub is organised chaos in the flesh. Nerdy, culture-savvy and a tad over-excited, she flits between university study (where she’s preparing for a doctorate), shopping centres (where she impulse-buys things like designer handbags and chocolate coins) and her bedroom, (where she writes at a computer surrounded by writer’s mess). Shy but flamboyant, a brain but a bimbo, conservative but open-minded, Sarah decided to pursue a career as a journalist because she wanted to be Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s love child (inheritor of enviable journalistic skills and the ability to fly) and because her plan to be a psychiatrist was shelved after a viewing of The Sixth Sense. Desperately in need of a time machine, Sarah Ayoub is an iron fist in a velvet glove - and a walking contradiction that makes perfect sense.
