Writing
You can access my work below by clicking on the listed titles. Most recently, I was commissioned by Chronic Insanity to write ONLYCONNECT, a digital interactive story built in Twine. ONLYCONNECT imagines friendship as a commodity you can buy and sell on an app, and asks you to navigate the difficulties of trust, authenticity, and capitalism in this world. You can play ONLYCONNECT (mobile only) through the Chronic Insanity Archive.
I am also experienced in running poetry workshops, having delivered workshops for Fusion Arts, Coastal Currents, and the Ashmolean Museum. From 2022 - 2023 I facilitated monthly sessions for those new to writing poetry at the Oxford Poetry Library, and am part of the OPL volunteer coordination team. I was a member of the 2023-24 Roundhouse Poetry Collective and was shortlisted for the Hastings Book Festival Poetry Prize. My work has been featured on BBC Upload as well as in the publications listed below.
