I am a performance poet who has gigged extensively at spoken word nights across Edinburgh, including Flint & Pitch, Anatomy, and Story Shop at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. I co-run Inky Fingers with Freddie Alexander, an open mic night at Lighthouse Books. I also run bespoke events with Andrew Blair under the handle Poetry AF. We have done events at Hidden Door, the PBH Free Fringe and at the Scottish Poetry Library.
In 2019 I was awarded a New Writer's Award for Fiction by the Scottish Book Trust.
