I live in lutruwita (Tasmania) among the trees and the mountains with my husband. 

​

My writing has appeared in The Saturday Paper, The Age, Overland, The Slow Canoe, Lip Mag, Tincture Journal, The Sydney Morning Herald, WritersBloc, Feminartsy, Award Winning Australian Writing, SBS Voices, and others. 

​​

Two of my novel manuscripts have been shortlisted for the Penguin Literary Prize (2020 and 2022).  I won first place in the Rachel Funari Prize for Fiction in 2015 and have a degree in Professional and Creative Writing from Deakin University. In 2021 I won a highly competitive Australian Society of Authors mentorship and worked under the guidance of an award-winning author. I was then part of the 2022 Hidden Nerve Program, a collection of writing craft workshops, run by the ACT Writers' Centre.

​

In my writing I like to explore the darker aspects of humanity and I'm most interested in why people do the things they do, what motivates and drives them, and how people can end up in unexpected, messy situations. 

​

I love to handwrite and have recently taken to handwriting my manuscripts, a process that has been wonderfully refreshing and organic.  

​

I love travelling, spending time in the bush, drinking tea, and reading.  My favourite book of all time is Anne of Green Gables, by L.M Montgomery.
