Writer // Academic // Podcast co-host/producer

I'm a Creative Writing PhD candidate at Flinders University researching connections between contemporary satirical fiction, affective and cognitive empathy, and the spread of mis-/disinformation online. I'm also a proud member of various research hubs which collaborate on papers and symposia: Degrees of Love (Romance Fiction scholarship), the Creative Histories Collective (historical literature), and the Queer Reading Group (a cross-institutional gender/sexuality research hub). 

My fictional works have been published in TEXT Journal (Q1) and Island Online, and my short story 'Afterbirth' was shortlisted for the 2025 Woollahra Digital Literary Award for Fiction. My scholarship has been published in TEXT Journal and presented at the 2025 Australasian Humour Studies Network Annual Conference and the 2025 Annual Australasian Association of Writing Programs Conference.

​

In 2025 I was hired as a research assistant on the Australian Research Council Discovery Project, Cartoon Nation: Australian Editorial Cartooning - Past, Present, and Future (Project ID: DP230101348). That year, I also became a producer/host on the Amy & Book Club podcast, which is spearheaded by award-winning author and Associate Professor Amy Matthews and is currently in its second season.

​

South Australia's indie film sector is also quite special to me, having occasionally worked as an actor and producer. I was lucky enough to be a host for three seasons running 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.​
