My poetry, short stories and nonfiction work have appeared in periodicals, journals and anthologies in Australia, the US and UK.
I use the techniques of documentary poetry to explore the science-poetry relation. This practice responds to and reworks text from the scientific archive, exploring subject matter as diverse as marine species migration, micrometeorites and the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn. I am also a PhD candidate in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University, where I am researching the poetics of precision medicine.
In addition to my creative practice, I run a social impact consultancy, The Social Yield Pty Ltd.
