About me

I’m an English teacher and poet based in Cambridge. I combine teaching in a secondary school with being a course tutor on the Cambridge PGCE English course, and writing poetry.

My debut pamphlet, Other Women’s Kitchens, won the Mslexia Pamphlet Competition and was published by Seren Books in September 2021. My first full collection, The Opposite of Swedish Death Cleaning, was published by Seren Books in April 2025. I have been widely published in print and online journals, and I have had poems Highly Commended in the Rialto Nature and Place competition, the Plough Poetry Prize and the Ginkgo Prize for Ecopoetry. I was the 2022 runner up for the Mairtin Crawford Award for poets working towards a first collection.
