Currently living and working in South Yorkshire.
I work within the charity sector with emphasis on young people and adults affected by loss. My PhD was a practice-led photographic research project that explored a personal complicated grief and the impact that it has on re-configuring an understanding of the world around us. I run creative workshops, sessions, talks, and lectures that draw safe and inclusive conversation about loss, death, and bereavement.
