Writer // Academic // Actor

I'm an emerging writer and academic, sometimes-actor, and sometimes-producer living and working on Kaurna Land.

​

2024 is my first year as a PhD candidate in Creative Writing at Flinders University, in which I'm researching connections between contemporary satirical fiction and the spread of mis-/disinformation. I'm proud to be a member of a romance fiction research collective called Degrees of Love and a historical fiction research group at Flinders University, where I get to work alongside fellow HDR students as well as PhD graduates and experienced scholars. I graduated with First Class Honours last year; the focus of that research was on representations of 'the real' in genre fiction. Prior to that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts double-majoring in Creative Writing and Sociology and minoring in Women's Studies, and wasn’t allowed to shake the Chancellor’s hand as I walked across the stage. Of all the impacts COVID-19 has wreaked on our lives, that must be amongst the worst. Taking photos with people in 2022 was just like visiting Madame Tussaud’s and posing with wax figures.*

​

South Australia's indie film sector is also quite special to me, having worked as an actor and producer. I'm lucky enough to be a host on Channel 44's talk show, Couch 44, which was awarded Best Youth Program and Outstanding Direction in a Program at the 2023 Antenna Awards and has been commissioned by the Community Broadcasting Foundation for a third season to be shot later this year.
