I'm a creative nonfiction writer, journalist, and documentary-maker. I like making work about the health of humans and the environment we live in. Over the last couple of years, I've concentrated on writing about lithium, a medication I was prescribed after I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2017.

I wrote, narrated, and co-produced with sound designer Alice Boyd, 'Lithified', an experimental audio documentary for BBC Radio 4. In 'Lithified', I get ready for my future without lithium having decided to trial coming off it, whilst exploring the landscape of Cornwall—the first place in the UK where lithium is being mined. 'Lithified' was broadcast on 23 October 2023, on BBC Radio 4 and is available as a podcast on BBC Sounds. 'Lithified' was selected by the BBC for a repeat broadcast and was aired again on 07 August 2024.

My six-part serial, 'Lithium Mania', was the first research project to seriously investigate the socio-environmental side effects of mining lithium as a medication. 'Lithium Mania' was commissioned by the Wellcome Collection and published in 2021. Alice Boyd and I collaborated on two pieces of sound art to accompany the serial: 'Honeymoon' and 'Atrophy'. These were selected for In the Dark's 'New Voices' of 2022 award. 

Other essays and articles of mine have been published by the Wellcome Collection, the medical humanities journal The Polyphony, and elsewhere. I edit and write book reviews for Medical Humanities, which is part of the British Medical Journal. My reviews have also appeared in The Guardian and New Scientist. 

I'm working on my first book. It is about mining for 'critical' minerals, including lithium, in the UK as the country sets its sights on achieving net zero. Combining investigative journalism, nature writing, and ecotheory, my book will probe our relationships with what's underneath our feet and grapple with the ethical dilemna of relying on natural resources to power us—whatever they might be or where they come from.

I'm looking for representation. If you're interested in my work, I'd love for you to get in touch.
