I'm an Irish filmmaker and writer.. My short stories have been broadcast on radio and published in various Irish collections. My most recent documentary Mercury 13 can be found on Netflix. In 2022, my first novel The Lie of the Lake was selected for the Curtis Brown CBC Breakthrough Mentoring Programme. The novel was also a winner of the Irish Writer’s Centre Novel Fair in 2023. My latest short story appears in the January '24 edition of Epoque Press e-zine.. 'Desire'. Currently, i'm in development on two screenplays, a book of short stories and a second novel. I'm passionate about story and writing that gives voice to female perspectives. This is what interests me most – stories for and about women. I'd be lost without a camera and just as writing helps me make sense of the world, photography, especially landscape, lets me pause and soak in the wonder of this place we call home. I'm also a trained editor with workable Irish, French and Spanish. My screenplay awards include:
