Christy Lefteri
Christy Lefteri was born in 1980 to Greek Cypriot parents who immigrated to London in 1974.
She earned degrees in English and creative writing from Brunel University.
Initially working as an English teacher, she later pursued writing and a PhD. Lefteri's background as a child of refugees likely influenced her portrayal of the refugee experience in her work.
She is also studying to become a psychotherapist, which may inform her exploration of trauma and psychological themes in her writing.
Her personal connection to displacement and professional experiences shape her storytelling approach.
