I moved to Sheffield over 10 years ago to study English Literature and have been here ever since. When time allows I visit my family in Shropshire and benefit from the beauty of two disparate landscapes; the lush green hills on the border of Wales and the dramatic climes of the Peaks and Dales.

I love nothing more than going for a woodland walk with my partner and connecting with nature through foraging. I’m also an avid reader of non-fiction on a range of weird and wonderful topics.

In my spare time I volunteer with a number of charities including the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Froglife and South Yorkshire Bat Group. I’m also a member of Sorby Natural History Society.
