 It's been awhile since I posted, however it's been a busy time with our beautiful son who arrived in 2021 and I have been enjoying the journey of motherhood.
With the exciting news of his arrival date brought the inspiration to study a Diploma in Writing Creative Stories for Children (now completed). This past year I have been fortunate to be able to work on my first middle-grade chapter book, drawing on my experiences of working in remote and wild areas all over the planet for the last decade. As well as finding time to write creatively in my spare time, I enjoy getting into nature and the water and using my underwater camera for clients and their unique assignments as well as photographing commercially in New Zealand.
