I’m a 32 year old queer autistic British Kiwi currently living in Naarm/Melbourne with my partner of 10 years.

I studied Ecology and Environmental Science and have had a lot of weird science jobs including working on Ukrainian fishing vessels for the NZ government, firing lasers at kiwifruit, and catching fruit flies during a biosecurity incursion.

I’ve been inspired by the landscapes of both places I grew up; the moors, meadows, and dales of Yorkshire, as well as the ocean, dense bush and vast, rugged black sand beaches of Tāmaki Makaurau.

My hobbies include (broadly) introvert activities; reading, gaming, gardening, crafting, and walking in nature, and other more social things like gigs, drag shows, picnics, and watching British comedy panel shows with my partner. I love animals and when I’m not doing all that, I’m petsitting.
