Hello, I am a writer from Essex.
I make poems, plays, pieces for radio,
poetry public art and facilitate workshops.
My work is about the difficult uplifting moments
we face in the process of being a person.
I hope.

I am currently an Associate Artist at Cambridge Junction, and Artist Facilitator at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge.

I am currently working on several written and visual word projects, after publishing my first book ‘Sensitive’
for Octopus, Hatchette, published in 2022.

I launched my podcast series ‘Human Resources’ mentored by Ross Sutherland (Imaginary Advice) funded by Arts Council England and Cambridge Junction. Available on Itunes and Spotify. I was an Artist in Residence at Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, collaborating through creative writing workshops with medical researchers. The results of this process were the creation of three phrases which were given to visual artist Anna Brownsted who produced three outdoor installations. A similar project included a collaboration with residents at a maximum security prison to create a permanent large scale text installation on the side of Durham Library for Lumiere Festival, Produced by Artichoke. I am also an award winning theatre maker, having created several shows, including two with Chris Thorpe called Oh Fuck Moment, and I Wish I Was Lonely. I was an Associated Artist with the National Centre for Writing (2018-2019).

Prior to becoming freelance, I worked for arts organisations such as Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Apples and Snakes on education and outreach projects. I hugely care and am committed to education practice, engaging and empowering diverse groups through creative activity. Having done so for Southbank Centre, National Centre for Writing, Kettles Yard, Cambridge Junction, Fitzwilliam Cambridge and more. I have worked with young carers, excluded young people, children in psychiatric care, prison residents, young men in favelas, dementia suffers and more.

Really I am a poet, that is what I spend my free time doing and that is where I began. I love being with a live audience and have had the great fortune of touring UK and international stages, houses, boats, pubs doing poetry gigs. My favourite stage will always be Latitude where I was given my start by curator Luke Wright. Poetry published by Nasty Little Press, Nine Arches Press. Anthologies include Penned in the Margins, Forest Fringe.
