Thanks for dropping by! You can learn more about the various facets of my interdisciplinary practice by clicking on the tabs above, or head here to contact me.

A quick rundown: having embarked on a grand adventure by way of a big move overseas (from Melbourne, Australia, to north-eastern France), I’ve transitioned to full-time freelancing! Over my almost-two-decades-long career, though, my tenured roles have included: Publication Editor at Liminal, a literary platform that supports and showcases the work of creatives of colour; Publications & Audience Development Manager at the Melbourne International Film Festival
; Editor of Metro, Australia’s oldest film and media journal; and Editor-in-Chief of sexuality and gender magazine Archer. 

Besides overseeing publications and projects, I write essays, criticism and poetry, and regularly speak and teach at festivals and arts events, tackling topics such as screen culture, pop culture and politics; race, queer and mental-health issues; and the creative industries. I’m also a dancer and movement artist known for my ‘collisions’ of words and choreography, and I’m often called on to act as a judge, mentor or consultant for arts initiatives, grants and awards.
