I am a writer, university lecturer and activist. I have written for The Guardian, The Independent and the Tes, and I have also appeared as a political commentator on current affairs programming on the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4.

My book Miss: when a teacher breaks the rules about the ten years I spent as an Inner London English teacher will be published by Repeater Books in early 2025.

I am currently a Lecturer at City University in Narrative Nonfiction Writing. I hold a Masters in Comparative Literature from UCL, and a Masters in Education Policy from King's College London.
