Biography

I am originally from Aotearoa New Zealand and have lived in Mandurah since 2010. I studied clothing and textiles, am also a librarian, and outside of my arts practice my working life has been a patchwork of roles in both sectors as well as in arts administration, the GLAM sector, event management, and community development.
