Clarissa is a self-confessed world-empress aspirant. She also likes writing and ice cream. Recently, she saw her life and career veering dangerously away from her life-ambition towards the less exciting realms of account management. In a bold/crazy/stupid move she decided to turn her career around and after six years in London, she suddenly found herself writing in New York. She has since found her way back to the capital but life has
continued to be a rollercoaster: it is the only way to be.
