“Listening is not passive. It’s how we begin to transform.”
I’ve spent decades working in education, leadership, and learning design, but these days, I’m more interested in the stories that shape us—individually, collectively, and across generations.
Whether I’m writing fiction, journaling, crafting speculative futures, or having a good yarn over a cup of tea, it all comes back to one thing: listening.
Listening deeply. To ourselves. To one another. To what the world is trying to teach us.
I am currently exploring memory, identity, climate, and care.
I’m the author of the Footprints in the Future trilogy, a speculative fiction series that imagines how we might live and learn differently if we truly listened—across time, culture, and gender.
Magical Moments—small truths from big shifts
These are the quiet turning points—the moments we often overlook, yet never forget. Each one holds a small truth, revealed in the middle of a conversation, a journal entry, or a walk by the sea. Magical Moments is a space where I gather these insights—personal reflections, story fragments, and learning seeds—capturing how big shifts often begin with something subtle, seen only in hindsight.
About Me
Writer | Lifelong Learner | Muse
I’m a writer, educator, story-teller and memory-keeper exploring care, gender, and climate repair through storytelling. My (yet to be published) speculative fiction trilogy, Footprints in the Future, imagines what becomes possible when we truly learn to listen.
Based in Perth, with connection to the Wheatbelt of Western Australia, I share reflections, magical moments, and futures worth tending.
Is this resonating and calling you?
