I am a creative projects facilitator and poet living in the foothills of Sliabh na mBan in County Tipperary. Inspired by human interactions and the natural world around me, I enjoy combining my love of writing and poetry with my work.

​

I have collaborated creatively with the Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, the Tudor Artisan Hub, Clonmel Applefest,  South Tipperary Action Network and Suaimhneas sna Coillte as well as the Tipperary Bealtaine Festival delivering a range of projects including writing workshops, poetry galleries / trails, spoken word events and the curation of poetry booklets.

 

I currently facilitate Word Sparks at the South Tipperary Arts Centre, a series of free-flow writing sessions designed to engage writers with varied and thought-provoking works of art to spark writing ideas.

​

I have enjoyed learning from and writing with Irene Graham, Anne Tannam, Lemn Sissay, Alex Wharton, Michael Rosen, Mark Granier, Margaret Galvin, Margaret O'Brien, Julie Snair and Jan Haag. I recently completed an online Writing Poetry course with the Dept for Continuing Education, University of Oxford and look forward to pursuing further studies in the future.​ In 2024, I completed a writing residency at Greywood Arts, Killeagh, Co Cork.​

My debut poetry collection 'a life to be lived' was published in 2023.
