She has won various poetry competitions, including first prize in the Mslexia, second prize in the TLS, third prize in the Edwin Morgan, and runners up prizes in the Bridport and Cardiff.

Poems arising out of her work with Voiceworks include 'The Names of God' in Bedford Square 4, 'Three Songs of the Inarticulate' in Shearsman issue 83-84, and 'Behind the Cellar Door' in Poetry London issue 62. She is currently working on a PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London, on aspects of sexual euphemism in Henry James, Wilkie Collins and George Eliot.
