I am a writer, artist and facilitator based in Cornwall, UK. I graduated from SOAS university in 2016 with a BA in Arabic and Social Anthropology, and a specialisation in memory, imagination and heritage sites (with fieldwork taking place in the West Bank of Palestine).

I worked in learning and facilitation for seven years before completing my MA in Poetics of Imagination at Schumacher College / Dartington School of Arts in 2024. I also hold a CPD qualification in Trauma-Informed Practice from University of Sussex (2021).

My current research interests include mythology, folklore, ancient sites, trauma theory and psychology. I am currently in the process of writing her first novel, Strange Places, which is a semi-fictionalised life narrative exploring the boundaries and meeting places between the imaginal, the mythological and the psyche.
