The Story
 

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, Australia, living and working on Ngunnawal land. Canberra, where I grew up. My life before I came to writing and philosophy was defined by trauma and mental illness. I was first introduced to the (enforced) autoethnographic research of domestic violence, drug addiction, child abuse, and poverty while living in a public housing complex that no longer exists. In the center of Canberra, grimy and profane, surrounded by affluence that could never be touched. Realities crushing up against each other.
\n
\nThrough the liberation of recovery and treatment, I found my spiritual home in the academy. I now have qualifications in writing and philosophy with specialisations in magical realism and the philosophies of sex and religion.
\n
\nThis path is one of dynamic exploration. I balance identities, being queer and Autistic, holding degrees and rapes within the same body.
