She is a frequent contributor to masterclasses, panel discussions and the media on theatre and wider cultural topics.

Her debut novel, The Four, is published by HarperCollins in April 2024. Described by Kate Mosse as 'a dark, compelling and beguiling novel of revenge, guilt and love', and by Karin Slaughter as 'an intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut', The Four is about four scholarship pupils at an exclusive boarding school who find themselves bound by a dark secret that could save one of them, or destroy them all.
