I am a Creative Writing MA graduate from the University of Southampton, now based in Folkestone, Kent. I lived in Southampton as a student for four years, and the history, nightlife and live music scene are some of my favourite things about the city, which is why I was keen to be involved in Pub Cultures. As a writer, I am particularly interested in short stories, poetry and creative non-fiction. My work appears in two anthologies, Doorways to the Sea (2021) and Avenues (2025), and during my time as Records Editor for The Edge student magazine, I interviewed two bands.
