About me

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.

I have been involved with...

The Writing Squad The Royal Court Everyman Playhouse Royal Court Liverpool Arts Emergency Writing on the Wall Theatre 503 Box of Tricks The Space DANC DaDaFest BBC Writersroom Traverse Theatre Wild Child HER Productions Unity Theatre RTS
