I'm a writer of short stories based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
I studied English Literature at the University of Glasgow, and spent time living overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Japan - experiences which continue to influence my writing.
In 2024, my short story 'The Curd' was shortlisted for The Bridport Prize.
