Characteristically hard to define, Nyla is a mix of self-assured, confident debater and very private, keeps her cards close to her chest kinda person. Brought up and still living in Birmingham, England, there is no subject too obscure to evade her interest and nobody unworthy of attention. She’s an outdoors enthusiast, academic, pragmatist and freestyler. Her favorite things are busting myths with facts and coconut macaroons.

Books include non-fiction on the themes of wellbeing and psychology (Digital Downsize, At Walking Pace) and a number of works of fiction about outsiders. A growing interest in our changing working lives has led to a new portfolio of writing on this theme.

Nyla comments on a wide range of social and economic issues. She has a string of academic qualifications from top British universities, including in management and law, but sees herself very much as a intellectual freestyler. So What Do I Know? is a typically alternative perspective on the world of work and people and will hang around as long as people find it moderately passable.
