As An Author

I’ve always been a writer—ever since I was five years old, I could write a story with a beginning, middle and end. It just took me a little longer to believe in myself and actually do the damn thing—let this be your sign to believe in your dreams too.

If I can—you can.

Like many of you, I’ve dealt with my fair share of trauma, pain and the awful reality that being human can be. But I’ve also laughed out loud, loved fiercely and held onto hope that carried me through the trenches and brought me out the other side.

If, like me, you’re over trauma romance glorifying, romanticising or diluting the truth and humanity that everyday life brings, you’ll come to cherish what I promise to bring.

My work will never lie to you.
It may break you but it will always heal you after.
You will feel it in your bones because I don’t write what is shocking or dramatic for plot’s sake—I write the truth. Unflinching. Emotionally literate. Real. Human.

As An Individual

I’m a proud Māori, born in New Zealand, who’s grown up living in Queensland, Australia. I am madly in love with my partner Davan, and adore our cat, Lucy. I’m a 90s baby millennial and I wish the world was more honest and kind.

One of the things I’m most proud of is being neurodivergent. Being diagnosed with BPD and ADHD makes for an interesting, wild life— and boy, does it come with challenges.

But I could never regret who I’ve grown to be—the valleys I’ve clawed out of and the mountains I went on to climb. We are far more capable as humans than we believe. Those know my full, unfiltered story understand this very well.

If I can heal and grow through trauma, so can you.

I write because it’s my medium for art.
It’s how I express myself—the raw truth that hides within but too scary to say out loud. I write to connect—so that like-minded people can feel seen and not alone because you aren’t…
I’m right here with you.
