I'm an award winning Neurodivergent writer performer with Chronic Pain from The Wirral.
Improving the representation of Neurodivergence and Disability is hugely important to me both creatively and in activism. I was featured in The Stage with the Neurodivergent Creatives Network, an online support network I co-founded.
I tend to write female led stories with a sense of humour even in the darkest moments because I believe life is funny. My ideal career would be me writing for stage and screen and at least one episode of Doctor Who!
I am represented by Maddie O’Dwyer at Berlin Associates.
