I am a freelance Learning Designer with over three years experience in the industry, as well as over five years experience in writing for professional platforms including e-learning, workshop facilitation, and marketing and PR. I am also the founding editor of Mud Press, Nottingham based independent publishing house, and I write and perform for national spoken word events, and was recently crowned Nottingham's First Young Poet Laureate 2017 - 2019 . I come with a first class degree in Creative and Professional Writing from the University of Nottingham, a positive attitude, and experience dealing with high-level workloads, fast paced deadlines, and client facing responsibilities.
Projects
- Mouthy PoetsI am a member of the Mouthy Poets, writing, editing and performing my own poetry, alongside organising events, shows, and facilitating workshops for people of all ages and experience levels. I have worked and performed in schools across Nottinghamshire, as well as within some businesses leading creativity and idea generation workshops.
- Mud PressMud Press is an independent publishing house presenting exclusively poetry. Founded and run by myself, the aim is to create a tribe of artists across the spoken word, page poetry and illustration camps. Mud produces anthologies of poetry, working with poets and designers across the UK, Germany, Peru, Chicago and anywhere where we find raw talent and gall. Our anthologies are currently stocked in retailers across Nottingham, but within the year we are aiming to reach much, much further out!
