I knew I was destined to write from an early age, but it’s been a long journey from hastily-scrawled Thunderbirds fan fiction at age six to true credibility today!

When I accrued a prize at a local Ottakar’s poetry competition in my final year of primary school, I realised there might be a career in writing for me, not just a hobby. Nurturing my talent, I went on to achieve an A* at English Literature A-Level, along with As in the similarly essay-heavy subjects of French, History and Spanish, before refining my critical and analytical writing through a Spanish and Arabic BA at the University of Durham.

For seven years from 2015 to 2022, I served as a Researcher for the legal publisher Chambers & Partners, in which capacity I regularly employed and built upon my technical and descriptive writing skills. My work for Chambers included everything from professional correspondence to succinct, illustrative copy for the company's annual guides.
