Writer of short fiction, memoir and poetry, I was born and raised in Glasgow, leaving in 1995 to study for an MA (Hons) degree in English Literature at the University of Dundee. After graduating I met and married Paul and together we live in Dundee with our four children. In 2020 I completed a Master’s Degree in Writing Practice and Study, graduating with Distinction. My short fiction work has been published by Loft Books and Voyage Out Press. I regularly write for Dundee University Review of the Arts online publication and The Saltire Society. I also provide reviews for literary supplements and various publishing houses including Pushkin Press, and I'm a member of the Dundee and Angus community writing cohort, The Clype Collective. I'm passionate about the benefits of life writing for personal well-being and facilitate creative writing workshops for therapeutic purpose. I am a qualified Mindfulness Teacher and have a Certificate in Counselling Skills and a diploma in Journal Therapy. I also run a women's only writing group.
