ME

I live in Edinburgh, Scotland but originally I’m from Nottingham, England. I found myself in Edinburgh in December 2019 and ever since I’ve been building a life here, and since 2023, a business and writing community (Women Who Write).  Edinburgh features frequently in my writing and photography. It’s an incredibly beautiful, vibrant, creative city that I’m so grateful to call home. I’ve moved several times in the six years that I’ve lived here, and this year, 2026 I’ll likely moved twice more. I have so many hobbies, passions and interests but I focus on photography and writing.

I love beans on toast, trash TV, dangly earrings, speculative fiction, movies, fiction in translation, sunrises and sunsets and all kinds of weather phenomenon, lie in (but they never, ever happen) and spending time with friends and family.

WRITING

Writing has always been a passion of mine, whether short stories, novellas, poetry, blogs, press releases, opinion pieces or journal entries. My ambition now is to get a novel published or a collection of short stories

I also host a bi-weekly women’s writing group in Edinburgh where an eclectic mix of women come together to spend time putting pen to paper. It’s incredibly wholesome and enriching. I’ll be sharing the creative prompts from each session here on my blog.

PHOTOGRAPHY


I take photos to capture moments. I’ve been inconsistently taking photos since I was 16/17 when I took a black and white film course at college. Since then I’ve picked up and put down and picked this hobby up again. I have a few film cameras that I usually take away with me at weekends or after work. Ill share photos from my trips around Scotland, the UK, and the world. Photographers I admire include  Ryan Mcginley, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Letizia Battaglia, and Chris Killip to name just a few.

I shoot with a Nikon F90x and Pentax MV1 and typically work in colour whether Kodak Ultramax 400, Kodak Gold, or Portra 400.
