Hello! I'm Yes-U-Are's Writer in Residence. I was born in Yorkshire, and have lived in Edinburgh since 1995. I'm a published poet with 15 years' experience of facilitating creative writing in community settings. I also enjoy hillwalking and cycling.

I'll be at the Erskine Building on Tuesdays to run workshops where participants can explore their own lives through writing, learn and develop creative writing skils, and respond creatively to the ongoing restoration of the building. If you'd like to be part of this - no previous experience necessary - we'd love to meet you!
