Available to hire
I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Canterbury (NZ) majoring in English and minoring in Linguistics. I focused on children’s literature and creative writing. I write, illustrate, and I am a musician.
I moved to London from New Zealand in mid 2017 to work on my creative career, and have since been studying psychology part time, and taking CPD courses in related areas such as neurodiversity and SEN. I am interested in the intersections of neurodiversity, disability
and mental health with the arts, and am looking to work in a role which compliments this.
I have also worked in hospitality, childcare, graphic arts and model making (stop motion animation), as well as in the music industry where I am currently sign to US label Carpark. I’m currently working on several
children’s stories I aim to get published.
