I grew up in a regional town of 300 in the Australian countryside. Some of my earliest memories are looking through my parents' photo albums from their travels around Australia, Africa, Europe and Asia, and listening to the stories that came alongside them. 

The desire of wanting to explore and both hear and tell stories was always there. 

I relocated to London in my early 20s in search of adventure (and career) that would have storytelling at its heart.

Arriving with a Bachelor’s in Journalism (2018) and Human Resource Management (2016), I decided to return to full-time study and completed a Master’s in Documentary Photography at the University of Westminster (2021). 

Since graduating, I have worked as a photographer, with personal projects focusing on portraiture, identity, fading traditions and the strange idiosyncrasies that make up British life. 

As a copywriter, I’ve been responsible for curating the feeling that a client wants their audience to have through words. Within the corporate space, it’s my mission to make my position as a writer and photographer as invaluable as possible. 

My bag is always packed for a new adventure.
