I'm a writer, researcher and educator based in London. I grew up ten minutes from my local library before studying English at St Hilda's College in Oxford (twelve minutes from the university library - not quite as good as living in it, but close enough).

​

I write stories to make the audience feel brave and bold, with a particular focus on adolescent mental health and exploring anxiety in both everyday life and high adventure. I love epic tales where the heroes come out stronger the other end, prioritising collaboration and creating opportunity throughout my work.

My recent work includes creating an upcoming children's TV series for CBBC and Lime Pictures; adapting the works of Sir Philip Pullman, Lauren Child and Margaret Bateson-Hill, and comedy-adventures for the whole galaxy to enjoy.

Alongside writing I work with young people, which led to my blog where I answer students' questions with tea-fuelled research. I also volunteer with the Girl Guides at home and overseas and read anything in reach (if you're in need of a book recommendation check out my list of book loves below!). I am a baking enthusiast and will travel far to see a dog.
