Projects
- Poetry PamphletThis will be my first poetry pamphlet, published by The Poetry Business and forthcoming in June 2018. It will feature poems that have been published in different literary magazines as well as poems that I have worked on for my degree. The editorial process of this pamphlet will require many sessions with the editor and publisher in order to establish the best possible format and order of the writing that will go into the final version.

Education
MA Creative Writing Poetry
- London, United Kingdom
With scholarship funding, I was able to pursue my passion for writing poetry by studying with some of the most well-known contemporary poets. I was given the time and the space that I needed to dedicate my energy to writing and to share ideas about poetry with my tutors and peers. I also became fluent in writing academically about poetry, writing mostly about experimental and documentary poetry, as well as its relation to photography.

- York, United Kingdom
Three-year degree in English, covering the most important periods in English literature, from the medieval era to contemporary, global writing across many different genres, including fiction, poetry, film and architecture - allowing for an interdisciplinary approach to understanding literature.
