I am a writer and educator based in Kaurna Yerta (Adelaide, Australia). My writing has been published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, Australian Poetry Journal, Cordite, Westerly, Griffith Review, SBS and many others.

I am the author of two novels: Plastic Budgie (Pink Shorts Press) which was shortlisted for the 2026 Readings New Australian Fiction Prize and Eggshell (Spineless Wonders) which was shortlisted for the 2026 South Australian Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction. Vote for Plastic Budgie in ABC Radio National’s Top Australian 100 Books!

My debut poetry collection Sick Note was published in September 2026 through Pink Shorts Press. I am currently developing a new commercial fiction novel, which was recently shortlisted for the State Library of South Australia’s 2026 Barbara Hanrahan Fellowship. Most importantly, I am a die-hard fan of the Adelaide 36ers 🏀.
