About Me

I’m a writer, editor, and arts worker, based in Dublin. In 2016, I co-founded the Tangerine, a Belfast-based magazine of new writing. I am currently a Contributing Editor at the literary journal Tolka.

Formerly Press Officer at Pushkin Press and Senior Publicity Executive at Faber & Faber, I am now Communications Manager at the Irish Writers Centre. I have freelanced for numerous other publishers across publicity, marketing, copywriting, and proofreading.

Further experience includes several years of teaching at third level, and working as Education Officer at Seamus Heaney HomePlace, County Derry.

My own writing has appeared in publications including Vogue, Frieze, the Times Literary Supplement, London Magazine, Guardian, Observer, Irish Times, Irish Independent, Wire, Stinging Fly, Dublin Review, Poetry London, Poetry Ireland Review, Winter Papers, and 3:AM.

In 2022, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, and a Ciaran Carson Writing and the City Fellow at the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen’s University Belfast, where I completed a PhD in Literature (2020) and MA in Poetry (2015). In 2021, I was O’Donnell Fellow in Irish Studies at the University of Melbourne.

The same year, I was a member of the inaugural cohort of Frieze New Writers, and in 2018 was the winner of the Vogue Talent Contest for Young Writers.
