I am a writer and creative with a background in journalism and poetry and I bring a natural feel for rhythm, tone and storytelling to every project I take on. My debut poetry collection ‘The Hair on my Legs’ showcased my voice in a bold conversational style shaped by studying literature abroad in Utrecht and through my work as Associate Editor of a local literary magazine called ‘Abyss’. I have a knack for capturing emotion in a way that feels honest and human which helps me collaborate well with employers who want nuanced material. Wheter I am shaping a narrative or refining a script, I focus on clarity, warmth and character-driven detail. I care about connection and authenticity; it’s where my writing comes alive. I know I could bring the same qualities to my work as a voice actor.
