I am a poet and filmmaker in London. I make work about mental health, Classical mythology and bats.

I am an alum of the Barbican Young Poets and the Writing Squad. I won the Oxford Brookes International Poetry Competition in 2020. My debut pamphlet, He Said I Was a Peach, was published with ignitionpress in 2021. Read more about my poetry.

My debut short as writer/director, You Look Fine, was awarded Best Writer at BFI Future Film Festival 2022. My second project, The Styx, is in development and supported by a development grant from Arts Council England. Read more about my films.

If you would like to support my work, I would appreciate a follow on Twitter and Instagram.
