Who I Am
Writer, Speaker, Aspiring academic
We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. Through a childhood of difference, I learned to advocate for myself. In my blog, I learn to show myself a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in my life.

My Life in Film
It all begins with the idea of logging my life for me to look back on. I talk about creativity, productivity, and living with chronic illnesses on my YouTube channel. To be candid about my daily experiences and challenges, I get chatty and creative with this memory log.
The Future is Neurodivergent
You can watch my TEDx here, where I reflect on my journey of self-acceptance as I come to terms with my neurodivergent identity.
Neuro Narratives
I am now several years post autism and ADHD diagnosis, and still, I am learning about how I want to tell this story. Or how I will shape my future. Neuro Narratives allows me to take small snippets of daily, ordinary experiences and weave my perception of the world into them.
Diaries of Late Youth
Around the age of 27, I felt aware of the finite nature of my present-day thoughts and perceptions of the world. It was as if I could see my youth in the rearview mirror and feel a day coming soon when I would laugh at my folly. I felt an impulsive need to capture these idiotic thoughts, these silly moments of apparent maturity. Diaries of Late Youth was born as an opportunity for me to share my thoughts in short-form content.

PhD Diaries
This year, I began my PhD in English and Creative Writing at the University of York. To remember this time of my life, I am going to keep an informal research diary that I can look back on one day!
