She has lived in Edinburgh since 2004, and holds a PhD in Creative Writing & Contemporary Women's Poetry from the University of Edinburgh. Her poems have appeared in numerous publications, including The Guardian, Poetry Scotland, PANK, The Edinburgh Review and Be The First To Like This: New Scottish Poetry (Vagabond Voices, 2014), and have been selected twice for the Scottish Poetry Library's Best Scottish Poems of the Year. In 2013 she won the International Salt Prize for Poetry, and in 2014 was runner-up for the inaugural Edwin Morgan Poetry Award for Scottish poets under 30 for an earlier version of This changes things, which was published by Bloodaxe in 2016. She was shortlisted for the Edwin Morgan Poetry Award for a second time in 2016.

In 2016 she became Edinburgh's first 'Reading Champion', the first writer to be appointed by the Scottish Book Trust to one of four such posts based in Scottish libraries to stimulate and deliver innovative projects around reading in different parts of Scotland. In 2017 she was the first writer to receive the inaugural Jessie Kesson Fellowship.
