She was born in rural Shropshire but raised in suburban North Carolina, then Mid Devon, then North Hampshire – these different landscapes inform her fiction about place, regional identity and everything that comes with it.
She read English Literature at Durham, then earned her MSt in Creative Writing from Oxford. Her prose has been published in Joyland and Mslexia, and in 2022 she was shortlisted for The Telegraph’s Cassandra Jardine Memorial Prize for non-fiction. In 2023, her short story ‘Small Hours’ placed runner-up in the Oxford Review of Books short fiction prize, judged by Octavia Bright. Her plays have been performed at venues including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, New Wimbledon Theatre Studio, Tristan Bates Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, and Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. She is the Playwright-in-Residence at Trinity College, Cambridge for the 2025-26 academic year, supported by the Peter Shaffer Foundation.
