I wish I could say that I always wanted to be a writer but the truth is that it’s taken a while for me to find my way here. It’s been a long and winding road, but a good one.

By the time I was in my late 20s, I had a degree in Natural Sciences, worked in corporate events, flown around the world as an air hostess, been a hair model and an international deodorant tester (who hasn’t?). But somehow none of those dalliances seemed to suit me.

It was my decade-long tenure as a teacher that really ignited my passion for storytelling. Being confronted every day by young children, their thirst for knowledge, and their receptiveness to imaginative narratives meant I finally understood the power of stories and the significance of instilling moral values in young hearts.

And then 2020 brought about a profound change in my life. The birth of my first wonderful daughter led me to set out on a new journey - the enticing and exciting world of writing.

Today, Hampshire is where I call home. Here, I reside with my two precious daughters and my wonderful supportive husband. Together, we form a team of explorers and storytellers.

My debut picture book, Benji's Blanket, stands as a testament to my love for the enchanting world of imagination and the limitless possibilities that arise from a heart filled with dreams and surrounded by friendship.
