I’m a poet, novelist and writer of non-fiction. My main interests are Shakespeare, the theatre, world history and exploring themes of loneliness, and mental well-being through prose and poetry.  

After studying English and American Literature at Kent University, I worked for ten years as a primary teacher and wrote educational resources for CGP Publications. I have also written and had published a range of short stories and poetry. 

In 2014, I set up Suffolk Writers Group and started teaching creative writing skills to adults, both privately and on behalf of Inside Out Community. I have since led over 400 workshops and courses, partnering with a variety of organisations and literary festivals. I have also helped to organise many events in conjunction with Suffolk Libraries, Suffolk Poetry Society and BBC Radio Suffolk.

I am hoping to publish my debut novel, ‘The Shakespeare Ladies’ later this year.
