I am a writer, retreat leader and lecturer teaching at City University, London.

My writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Independent, and Tes, and I have appeared as a political commentator on current affairs programming for the BBC, Sky News, and Channel 4. I hold a Masters in Comparative Literature from University College London, and a Masters in Education Policy from King's College London.

My book Miss: When a Teacher Breaks the Rules, about the nine years I spent as an Inner London English teacher, was due to be published in November 2025 by Watkins Media. Following revelations that Watkins CEO had investments in an Israeli AI company that has collaborated with the IDF, I withdrew the book and joined the Boycott Watkins campaign.

Alongside my writing and teaching, I facilitate meditation retreats at The Barn at Sharpham Trust and maintain a committed daily meditation practice, primarily influenced by the Plum Village and Insight traditions. I endeavour to draw on heart-centred approaches across all my writing, teaching, and activist work.
