BIO

Since the age of 17, I have worked as a stand-up comic, alongside my studies, and have, as of 2020, headlined gigs on three continents, and performed solo shows at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
As a poet, I have been a finalist in the Scottish National Poetry Slam, and won several other slams. My work can be found both online, and in print, and my debut chapbook (‘Kissing in the Moonlight is Just Taunting For Werewolves’) is due to be published by Dreich in 2020.
As a playwright, I have had work published in a number of places, including the Inkwell. My work has been performed across Scotland, and I am a former writer in residence of Bedlam Theatre in Edinburgh.
Finally, I have recently began working as an online content creator with BBC The Social. My first video, on my experiences growing up Roma, can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_9ZOBAfORg
