I am an author based in Poneke/Wellington, Aotearoa where I operate a vegan donut stand, edit award-winning books and enjoy stand-up comedy, scuba diving and painting portraits of my friends. I became known as a personal essayist but I'm currently writing fiction for my PhD in creative writing.You can purchase my book Specimen: Personal Essays here.
