My Story
I'm a writer, illustrator, and content creator in Dundee, Scotland. I'm an avid reader of contemporary lit, absurdist realism, non-fiction and poetry. I have published over 17 literature reviews, and Review for The Harvard Review, DURA (Dundee's Review of the Arts), and the Courier. I am also the co-founder and Managing Editor of Refuge Online Journal. ​
My poetry received acclaim in the Sentinel Literary Quarterly, SaveAs International Poetry, the Oxford Review of Books and Be Still Media 2022 Competition. More writings are featured in the Crank, eris & eros, the Napkin Poetry Review and Passengers Journal. Click here to read more.

I used to live between Florida and North Carolina, Oxfordshire, and even spent a spell in Malta. Much of my work reflects my experience of immigrating to United Kingdom and weighs the beautiful tension of belonging to more than one place.
