Passionate and versatile writer with a strong academic foundation in English and Creative Writing from Murdoch University, having completed an Honours degree (graduation February 2026). A published poet with work featured in Bowen Street Press, Mag20/20, White Noise, and others, I bring experience in crafting compelling narratives, leading creative projects, and building strong professional relationships. I completed my degree while undertaking primary caregiving responsibilities, balancing academic excellence with an ongoing writing and publishing practice. This period strengthened my capacity for sustained independent work, complex time management, and collaborative, care-focused thinking. I also bring proven leadership and staff training experience from roles in business development and community service, combining academic rigour with lived experience to offer a distinctive perspective on literature, creativity, and community engagement. With my daughter commencing school next year, I am now seeking opportunities for long-term professional engagement.
