MY BIO

IMG_9036.JPG

Nice to meet you! After loads of hard work, I’m thrilled to invite you to explore my project, and get to know a bit more about me.

 

I’m currently an MSc Environmental Protection and Management student at the University of Edinburgh with a BA in English and Creative Writing.

I am a curious explorer, passionate about reading and learning new skills.

My short memoir story about depression got published in an online magazine aAh! and two of my poems in printed Mancunian literary magazine BRAG.

I graduated with a first-class honours with my dissertation focusing on critical and creative elements of Ecopoetry and its connection to environmental science, protection and management.

I am currently working on my own poetry book.

I hope you enjoy my project and would love to hear your feedback!
