After over two decades of writing, I have amassed a body of work that includes poetry, prose, creative writing, and analytical writing. I have been published both in Australia and abroad and am currently working towards my Bachelor of Arts at UNSW, double-majoring in Creative Writing and Politics and International Relations.

I have over four years of experience in producing student and independent theatre in Sydney. My most notable credit is as a producer for the ‘Everything but the Kitchen Sink Festival’, Sydney’s newest and weirdest theatrical event.

I have almost a decade in experience with marketing online and social media strategising. I have been responsible for the exponential growth of multiple social media accounts. I also have extensive graphic design experience and, as such, have been able to launch multiple social media campaigns.

My experience as an activist and advocate began in high school over a decade ago. I have worked in spaces dedicated to the liberation for Black, Indigenous, Queer, and Disabled people in addition to larger anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, and climate justice projects. I have organised rallies, campaigns, and petitions in my career. This practical experience paired with my work towards both a Bachelor of Environmental Management (majoring in ecology) and a Bachelor of Arts (double majoring in politics and international relations and creative writing) ensures that my activism is grounded in lived experience and academic understanding.
