Mother of four, wife, adventurer and primary school teacher. I live on the foothills of kunanyi (Mount Wellington) in Hobart, Tasmania. 

Love drinking tea, rambling in the mountains, family e-bike trips, growing and cooking food for my tribe, playing in nature, knitting jumpers and snuggling our pet cockatoo. 

I am also a brain tumour survivor. 

In the quiet spaces of family life, I like to write stories about motherhood, family adventure and surviving a life-threatening illness. 

I hope you enjoy my collection of writing and that it may inspire you to be adventurous and all you dream to be.
