I was born in Camberwell, South London, raised in Co. Donegal, Ireland, and now live in Norwich, in the East of England. My poetry and prose deal with notions of home and belonging, heritage, personal and world history, death and grief, and creative joy in the era of late-stage capitalism. My creative work has been published in print and online. 

I have a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing (2022), an MA in Medieval and Early Modern Textual Cultures (2023), and am working on a PhD in seventeenth century Irish history writing and colonialism at UEA.

As a creative freelancer, I deliver workshops and mentoring sessions, work as a Jill-of-all-trades editor and have been known to judge a writing competition and sit on a board or two.

When I’m not knee-deep in novel edits, poetry submissions or reading books and articles on the Irish annalistic tradition, I can be found: mooning over the life and work of Andy Warhol, taking long walks by rivers, collecting vinyl records, dog-earing my copies of The Lonely City and Stoner, reading about the Reformation, getting too interested in fine art conservation or re-watching The Shawshank Redemption for the fiftieth time.
