About Me
I’m one of those people who never knew what I wanted to do, who couldn’t settle to just one occupation. Writing and art are both vital to me. Both take me to new places all the time. I don’t like to be boxed, I’m a searcher. So when I do settle on something, it’s with real commitment and passion.
​
I live with my family in Coventry in the UK, working part time for the charity Grapevine Coventry and Warwickshire as a community connector for adults with a learning disability and running a writing group alongside vulnerable adults.
​
My work in the community enriches my life, teaches me about people and myself and is crucial for my writing.

As a Cov Kid I am thrilled we have been named UK City of Culture 2021 nad can't wait till May when it all kicks off!
