About / Bio

I co-created the TV show Girl Troop vs Aliens for CBBC and Lime Pictures (releasing spring 2026), based on my acclaimed stage comedy-adventure Girl Scouts vs Aliens.

I write stories to make the audience feel brave, bold and ready for whatever’s next in their day, with a particular focus on exploring anxiety in both everyday life and high adventure, based on my own experience with severe OCD. I’ve also written stage adaptations of novels by Sir Philip Pullman and Lauren Child, and my work’s been published by the British Library and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
