About me

I write character-driven stories that blend reflection, humor, and raw emotion. My fiction focuses on deep character work to make my worlds feel lived in, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Readers of my non-fiction work often compliment the immersive, blunt, and cutting tone I write with. Whether in fiction or non-fiction, I balance humor, tension, and introspection. I usually aim to write narratives that are fun to read, even if they delve into darker themes. Beyond writing, I have experience in creative communications, marketing, and digital content, and I have worked with brands to craft compelling stories through visuals, social media, and copywriting. I’m developing a dark comedy-drama TV series following a group of friends in London navigating grief, young parenthood, and the messiness of adulthood. The story explores the contradictions between their ambition and self-destruction. As well as a coming-of-age short story about a teenager’s first job, exploring identity, ambition, and the pressures of growing up too fast. Additionally, I'm writing a children's story told in diary format, inspired by Tracy Beaker and Noughts & Crosses. Each self-contained chapter captures her adventures—from dramatic fallouts to secret escapes and wild stories from her imagination. I also write short-form scripts that experiment with voice, format, and non-traditional storytelling. I’m always open to collaborating on writing, marketing, photography, and filmmaking—whether through storytelling, content strategy, or bold creative projects.
