About Me
I began my career in film and television production but quickly realised that writing was my true passion. After working at a literary agency for a time, I took the plunge and moved into writing full-time.
My articles have been featured in HowlRound Magazine, DailyArt Magazine, Clique Magazine, and Christ and Pop Culture Magazine. I began working as a Staff Writer for Static Media in mid-2025, writing for House Digest Magazine and Hunker Magazine.
My creative work has also featured across a variety of publications, theatre shows, anthologies, and poetry collections. I write with a special interest in art, popular culture, film, history, and faith, and I love engaging with themes of identity, tradition, and beauty.

Set in a small Italian village which is slowly sinking down the mountainside along with the earth beneath it, Pellegrino introduces us to a cast of characters...
A Spy Among Friends review
When adapting around true events, there is a strong temptation to focus the narrative around what did — or didn't, as may be more apt in the world of half-truths and espionage — happen. The MGM+ original series, luckily, does not give in to that temptation.

Nonsense and Sensibility
A classic with a twist, this comedy-drama follows a pair of feuding actors who find themselves forced to put on a production of Sense and Sensibility entirely on their own. With shenanigans, petty arguments, a healthy dose of Austonian dialogue, and more than a little heart, audiences will no doubt fall in love with Samantha and Bartholomew as they slip, slide, and stumble their way through this beloved classic story.
