I have worked professionally as a teacher in primary, secondary and special needs groups. I draw on these experiences in my writing and workshop events. I have enjoyed running events in nursing homes where I was reading poetry. I have also read my poems to dementia carer groups as well as general audiences. (Photo credit: Macateer Photograph)
