I write poetry and fiction and I have experience of working in community settings on arts, health and wellbeing projects. I have worked with local authorities, NHS Health Boards, HM Prisons, charities and other organisations to provide writing interventions, creative research methods and models of co-production. I am currently working on the Stories on the Edge of Memory project, based in Butetown, Cardiff, working with community elders, developing technology to preserve narratives that are vulnerable to loss. I am also developing Companion Poems for people living with dementia and am part of the SPIN Dementia Network+ working to develop dementia prevention strategies and practices. I am Principal Editor of Writing in Practice, the journal of creative writing research.

I am interested in PhD applications in the areas of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction and arts and health.
