Overview

I have been writing and publishing prose fiction since 2012, and working in comics since 2015.

Since 2021, I have been crowdfunding comic anthologies via Kickstarter and publishing them via Limit Break Comics.

In 2023, I was selected to participate in the Evolution Programme by the Irish Writers Centre, through which I undertook a teaching internship at the University of Galway.
