I'm a published author, experienced English teacher and private English tutor to A level. I also support primary school students with their writing skills.

I'm a co-director of thoughttree Residential Writing Courses.

I have a Masters Degree in Creative Writing, with Distinction. My short story won first prize at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival. The Times Educational Supplement published a feature article I wrote on my work with a student with severe autism. My novel, 'KOFF, was published in 2013 and was previously shortlisted for the Cinnamon Press Writing Award. I am currently developing my work with thoughttree Residential Writing Courses, where we offer courses to all writers and are developing new courses to support teachers of Creative Writing at A level.
