I am an Australian writer and reader, a former bookseller, and maker of literary journals. I have published and performed my work across a selection of publications and events. In 2022 I was a scholarship recipient of the Faber Academy for their ‘Writing a Novel’ course.

I currently reside in Meanjin where I work for a community legal centre. My work-in-progress explores the desire to become a mother and the pressures we place on our bodies to perform.
