About the founder
Hi! My name is Teta, an editor based on the East Coast in the U.S. You can read my self-interview here that I wrote back in 2018.
I grew up in upstate New York. Most of my family still lives in Jakarta. My heritage is Gayo, Jawa and Sunda. My conversational Indonesian is passable (probably), but my reading comprehension and writing skills in Indonesian are pretty hopeless. I’ve also lived briefly as an exchange student in the U.K. and Australia.
