Writing
My work spans poetry, plays, and occasionally other areas. I was the winner of the Creative Future Writer's Award for poetry, and a member of the Roundhouse Poetry Collective. I was shortlisted for the Hastings Book Festival Poetry Prize (2024). In 2023, I was commissioned by Chronic Insanity's Digital Literary Department. My work has been featured on BBC Upload and BBC Radio Oxford as well as in the publications listed below.
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.
