She was short-listed for the Patrick Kavanagh Award twice in two consecutive years, and also made the short-list for the Cork Literary Review Manuscript Competition and Erbacce-Press in 2017.

One of the youngest members of the Dublin Writers’ Workshop, she went on to found Chocolate Sundaes at La Cave with mime, William Kennedy and the poet, Christopher Daybell, in the mid nineties.
