About Me

I love to travel and after studying politics and philosophy at Bristol Uni, I found jobs in Italy, France and New York, as an au pair and in hospitality. I worked as a teacher in London schools for many years, working with children learning English as a second language and with refugees and their families.I gained a valuable insight into the lives of others and a belief in the goodness of ordinary people in an unjust world.

Since moving to South Devon with my husband and daughter, I’ve been able to spend more time writing and have had articles and stories published in both on-line and print magazines. When I’m not writing, I’m baking cakes for our local homeless charity, walking the coastal paths with friends and planning the parties I’m going to throw in a post-Covid world, oh and the restaurants I’m going to visit, the pubs I’m going to frequent, and the places I’m going to travel to, and the … I’ll stop now.
