About Me

I am a Sydney based writer, illustrator and songwriter.

In 2016 I completed my Bachelor of Popular Music degree at Griffith University/Queensland Conservatorium of Music. I interned for Gold Coast magazine Blank CG (now known as Black Street Press), and in 2017 worked as a freelance writer for the monthly print/online cultural and lifestyle magazine. I’ve interviewed bands such as WAAX and Cub Sport, reviewed live shows and festivals including Big Sound, A Day On The Green, James Blunt and Stevie Nicks, as well as written various single/EP/album reviews over the years.

In 2018 I moved back to Sydney and began working full time in book publishing. I worked in Sales for Allen & Unwin and Murdoch Books, before moving to my current role as National Account Manager at Bloomsbury Publishing in late 2021.

When I’m not working full time in the world of books at my day job, I can be found writing, drawing or creating music in my home studio. Currently I am working on book one of an adult fantasy series, various freelance illustration work and a electro-pop album I aim to release in 2023. I’m also studying a Masters of Information Studies.

In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. The land on which I work and live belongs to the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
