I am a neurodivergent artist, writer, and PhD researcher in Health Psychology. I first encountered body mapping in relation to my own creative practice, which began during my undergraduate degree with a life-sized body map poem about living with chronic hemiplegic migraine and PTSD. I later supported other students in developing similar works, which helped me recognise this as an early form of body mapping.

​

Since then, I have facilitated arts-based reflection workshops through community organising spaces. I am drawn to creative methods that make experiences visible that are often difficult to express in words alone.

​

My current research explores how neurodivergent students across Aotearoa create, adapt, and share health technologies through their sensory experiences of university. I am particularly interested in body mapping and crip cartography as ways of understanding access, epistemic justice, and wellbeing.
