If it involves storytelling and connecting with people, I’ll be there.

writing

As a writer, my work focuses on grief, trauma, relationships, family dynamics, queer identity, and artists’ lives. I write non-fiction, essays, profiles, short stories, research articles, poetry, and create hybrid works incorporating materials, art, and photography.

My writing has been published online, in print, has won and been nominated for awards, and has earned me writing residencies which have helped shape my practice and work.

freelancing

I am an experienced and thoughtful critic, interviewer, moderator, MC, editor, content creator, and copywriter. Authors I have interviewed include Craig Silvey, Holly Ringland, Victoria Hannan, and Benjamin Stevenson. I have MCd large industry events such as the BookPeople national conference. I currently run a book club for Mitcham Library Service where we explore a new theme (rather than a sole book) each month. I’d love to hear from you if you have ideas for working together!

research

I have a PhD in Creative Arts (Creative Writing) completed at Flinders University in 2023. My thesis explored ‘material grief memoirs’; autobiographical narratives which use material objects to tell difficult stories. I was an award-winning academic teacher and researcher at Flinders for six years. During this time I also tutored Indigenous students one-on-one in English, Creative Writing, and Communications, and worked as a Learning Advisor, providing study and assignment help for students across all fields of study. I am still affiliated with Flinders, publish regularly in Q1 academic journals, run symposiums and workshops, and am available for talks, lectures, workshops, and other academic endeavours.
