About me

What makes my voice different is that I write from lived experience; by sharing my journey in all its challenges and triumphs, I hope to offer a perspective that resonates deeply with audiences and instils hope. I hope my words bring comfort, encouragement, and maybe even a sense of community for those who can relate. I also hope to challenge stereotypes and spark greater understanding, especially around Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), by showing the human side behind the label.

My journey has shaped me in more ways than I can count. The difficult times have deepened my empathy and understanding of what it means to live with invisible struggles, and they’ve inspired me to speak up against stigma. My experiences have shown me the joy that can be found in small victories, whether it’s swimming a little further, riding my bike, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with my cat.

So many things are important to me, shaping my identity and voice as a writer; Family, friends, my cat Hedwig, I love swimming, fun runs, riding my ebike, theme parks, snorkelling and spending time with friends and my siblings.

Living with mental illness or disability can often feel isolating, but by sharing my story, I want to show that there is strength in vulnerability and growth is always possible. My hope is to support people living with disabilities and mental health challenges, and to challenge the stigma; especially around (BPD), which is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatised mental illnesses. Along my journey I have found hope, and now I wish to share my hope with others who are struggling.

I want readers to feel inspired to believe in their own capacity for change, joy, and resilience, and most importantly, for hope.

Hope is a truly wonderful thing.
