About the Author
I was born in a small French village in New Brunswick, Canada, and have settled in the place of my heart, England.
Since a young age, I loved immersing myself in nature, going for long summer walks behind my childhood house among the flowery decor. Evening after evening I’d go skating under the winter stars in my backyard. Hip-hop dancing was an outlet that helped me express myself when I was a shy kid. I have mostly learned English through music and travel. Perhaps, the arts and music played a critical part in my development as a child alongside my well-being.
It wasn’t until shortly after I landed in England in 2019 that I discovered poetry and began writing. Today, I’m a poet, author, writer, and early years teacher. In addition, I'm currently conducting independent research with my works. In my research, I aim to understand better the effectiveness of storytelling on children's wellbeing.
I write with a sense of purpose, to help people connect with themselves and others, process emotions and increase self-confidence and well-being. I also write meditations, short stories and I'm currently writing picture books for children aged between three and five years old. You can check out my books here
Louise Gluck, Robert Frost, Rupi Kaur, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Tracy Chapman and pieces of piano music are some of my biggest inspirations. I am especially inspired by Max Ritcher's music.
In my spare time, I’m a model and explore beautiful architecture and parks in London, collaborating with talented photographers who enjoy the art of photography as much as I do. I also enjoy collaborating with artists and musicians. Together, we create stories and something meaningful.
