I am a photographer and educator currently living and working in North West England. My practice uses methods of documentary, portraiture and performance through still and moving image. I have extensive experience in community engagement and arts education. I am developing a practice in socially engaged photography and am the founder of Snappy Valley community photography collective based in Todmorden. My work has been exhibited in the exhibition From Common Differences as part of Diffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography and at the Open Eye Gallery as part of the Collective Matters exhibition. I am the winner of Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival Prize 2022 and am a mentee at The Trace Mentorship programme. I have held a number of residencies, including at Outlandia in Scotland, was Arts Outreach Coordinator at Locws International and currently work at the University of Salford. Todmorden
