I’m endlessly fascinated by human stories, and in one way or another, through different mediums, have always been trying to bring them to life.

I studied Fine Art, and spent much of my twenties trying to be the next Tracey Emin, with little success. I returned to formal education to study Religions and South Asian Studies at SOAS, and also worked with young refugees and asylum seekers in artistic and therapeutic contexts. This was followed by a stint as an independent filmmaker, co-producing and directing several short films including a feature length documentary about a coffee farming family in Chiapas, Mexico.

 

It was during my time filming abroad that I made a pact with myself to reawaken my other long-held passion, writing. On returning to London, I enrolled in a course at Faber Academy. Once I started, I didn’t want to stop, and after receiving encouragement from a tutor went straight on to a Creative Writing MA at Bath Spa University. It was there I began my debut novel, for which I eventually won the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize in 2022. I am currently working on my second book.

My work as an editor, and as an aspiring ghostwriter, supporting others on their own writing journey, has been a natural next step. I enjoy what I do very much, and carry this energy and passion into my work.

 

I am also represented by RCW literary agency based in London.
