She has completed The Year of the Novel with Emily Maguire at Writing NSW, and has a Graduate Certificate in Writing and Literature at Deakin University. Winning The Lane Cove Literary Award in 2021 gave her the faith to keep writing. She's happiest spending time on the rural property she shares with her husband and two Dalmatians with a few writing projects to work on.view less
