She is interested in ghosts, theatrical storytelling, domestic textile practices and high school theatre aesthetics. Her work suggests that history is a haunted house, whiteness is a spiritual vacuum and that horror, poetry and witchcraft are legitimate political strategies.

She was a finalist in the 2019 VAFE award at Artspace, and was awarded a 2020 public art commission (WE ARE ALL ASTONISHINGLY WISE) from the City of Sydney.
