I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember.

I was first published in my local newspaper at the age of 9, with a poem about how much I hate telephones. (I can still recite it by heart if you’re interested.) By 11, I’d written my first novel, though the editor – my great grandfather – felt it had far too many slobbering dogs.

That early love of storytelling ultimately led me to a career as a copywriter in luxury travel, where I’ve gained insider knowledge of how the sector works – and more importantly, where it falls short for neurodivergent travellers like me.

As a late-diagnosed autistic person, I understand firsthand the hidden barriers that can make travel feel impossible. But I also know it can be transformative. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to bridging the gap between neurodivergent travellers and an industry that’s still learning to meet our needs.

My writing appears in publications like the Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller, and I’ve spoken at events including Kendal Mountain Festival and Timber Festival. In 2025, I was named on the TTG 30 under 30 list, which recognises aspiring young leaders breaking new ground in the travel industry. I’m currently writing my second book, a neurodivergent guide to travel for young adults.
