Tell us about you: Fascinated by popular culture, class and access to the arts. Love what I do.
What inspires you? Good writing. Good people.
What do you love about Liverpool? This city has given me everything: an education, a taste for the wider world, and the space and opportunity to have a crack at it.
What would your superpower be? A sense of perception which revealed people’s true responses through the lies would be pretty handy! The old ego might take a beating, however… can I change my mind?
Favourite local hangout? Almost too many to mention.
Tell us a secret. I was a childhood catalogue model. The secret’s out.
