I am a practicing artist, lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Education a Birmingham City University, UK. I studied Art and Design at Warwickshire College, Fine Art at the University of Ulster, Belfast and a MA Art Practice and Education at the School of Art, Birmingham.

In 2020 I was awarded a GRAIN Photography Hub bursary to make new photography work in response to young people's experience of Covid-19 in school.
