She graduated from The University of Glasgow with a Doctor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and has recently returned to America after seven years of living abroad. Her focus is on experimental and hybrid forms, and she explores memoir through poetry, performance, fiction, essay, photography, embroidery, and more. She has published across genres and in a variety of platforms including online literary journals, print zines, anthologies, and more. Her two experimental poetry collections were released in Scotland in 2019 and 2022.
