With her own history of emigration, through her work she explores notions of home, belonging and how we relate to the lands which we inhabit. She is currently associated with the Ebor Studio group, Greater Manchester (UK) where she is working on various long-term, social documentary projects.

Alongside her creative practice she works as a Project Worker for the Children's charity Barnardo's, where she assists children and young people with additional needs access activities throughout Greater Manchester.
 
In 2023 she developed her own photography workshop titled 'My Place' for which she has worked with various organisations and charities, promoting arts for wellbeing across the North West of England.

She is currently open for commissions.
