Being the proverbial ‘girl between two seas’, my journey started on the twin island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in 1997. In 2003 at the age of 6, I moved halfway across the world to another island, this time an island kingdom called Bahrain, meaning two seas in Arabic. There I spent my childhood and adolescence immersed in a multicultural melting pot.

Having been educated at a prestigious British international school I was quickly thrust into a system that was not always fair to someone like me. Still, the lessons learnt both in and out of classrooms helped shape a unique perspective and I graduated in 2015 with both GCSE’s and A-levels under my belt.

After moving to Portsmouth in the UK to study Law with a focus on international relations at the University of Portsmouth in 2016, I learned more about what it meant to belong and more importantly, what it meant to belong as an immigrant. Having spent the better part of a decade in the UK, I have also had to grapple with the ever changing concept of what home means to me.

A lot of my work explores this concept and attempts to deconstruct it.

A self proclaimed autistic creative, I have unabashedly discussed my experiences with mental health and disability in the othering I have felt throughout my life.

Currently, I am employed full time as a caseworker at a Citizens Advice whilst writing and art are saved for my free time. I reside in Surrey, England with easy access to London.

(I am working on a novel and various projects - stay tuned! And if you’re a literary agent interested in my pitch, feel free to head to my contact page)
