I am a writer and academic, currently Watershed's inaugural Researcher in Residence at Pervasive Media Studios. My background spans biology, storytelling and participatory practice. I am currently reinvigorating a hybrid creative writing practice, combining text, performance and personal archives, to examine collective consciousness - the shared beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and values that function as a unifying force within a society or community. I am particularly interested in drawing from moments of productive tension, rupture and departure from normative belief systems, that hold the potential to collectively re-imagine and rehearse multiple different ways of living.

In 2025 my poem, ‘How to read the atmosphere’ was shortlisted for best single poem and published online by the London Writer's Centre. I have recently finished writing a poetry pamphlet of the same name and am now working on a short novel, Us5 and participatory performance piece ‘I loved her until I didn’t'.

I am co-director of Squirrel Nation with artist, designer and researcher, Caroline Ward. We make work that considers co-existence with non-humans as an ethic. Together, Squirrel Nation have held fellowships and residencies with Manchester International Festival/ Jerwood, INIVA/ Stuart Hall Library and JUSTAI/ Ada Lovelace Institute. Squirrel Nation are alumni of the Stuart Hall Artist and Scholars Network.

I am an accredited Relational Dynamic 1st Coach.
