Bywgraffiad

Cefais fy ngeni yn Kampala, Uganda a chefais fy magu yno, yn Adelaide, Awstralia ac yn Abertawe, Cymru.

Ym Mhrifysgol Sussex, enillais Baglor yn y Celfyddydau yn Saesneg, 2.1, cyn ennill Tystysgrif Ôl-raddedig mewn Addysg ym Mhrifysgol Brighton, ac ar ôl hynny bûm yn dysgu Saesneg a Drama mewn ysgolion uwchradd yn Nwyrain Sussex am bum mlynedd.

Dysgais ysgrifennu creadigol fel rhan o ddarpariaeth Dysgu Gydol Oes Cyngor Caerdydd rhwng 2003 a 2010.

Rhwng 2004 a 2019 roeddwn yn diwtor yng Nghanolfan Dysgu Gydol Oes Prifysgol Caerdydd (y Ganolfan Datblygu Parhaus a Phroffesiynol erbyn hyn) yn dylunio ac yn darparu modiwlau achrededig 10 wythnos:

1. 'Ysgrifennu Creadigol yn yr Amgueddfa', wedi'i leoli yn Amgueddfa Cymru, Caerdydd, lle bu myfyrwyr yn ymgysylltu'n greadigol ag arddangosfeydd, gwrthrychau mewn orielau, casgliadau a sgyrsiau y tu ôl i'r llenni gan guraduron.
2. 'Ysgrifennu Caerdydd', wedi'i leoli yn Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd ac Amgueddfa Stori Caerdydd, lle bu'r myfyrwyr yn archwilio ysgrifennu am le, hunaniaeth a symudedd daearyddol.
3. 'Ysgrifennu'r Corff', sydd wedi'i leoli yn yr Adran Anatomeg, yn Ysgol y Biowyddorau Caerdydd, lle bu myfyrwyr yn arbrofi gydag ysgrifennu am gynrychioliadau anatomegol a meddygol o'r corff (hanesyddol a chyfoes).

Ymunais â'r Adran Ysgrifennu Creadigol a Beirniadol yn yr Ysgol Saesneg, Cyfathrebu ac Athroniaeth ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd yn 2014 fel myfyriwr ôl-raddedig a chwblhau fy PhD yn 2019. 

Rhwng 2016 a 2019 fel myfyriwr ôl-raddedig, bûm yn dysgu myfyrwyr israddedig ar ddau fodiwl Blwyddyn Un: Darllen Creadigol ac Ysgrifennu Creadigol.

Ers cwblhau fy PhD a dod yn Athro Prifysgol yn 2019 rwyf wedi bod yn dysgu modiwl Ysgrifennu Creadigol Ail Flwyddyn : Straeon o'r Byd Go Iawn: Naratif Ffeithiol , tra'n cyfrannu at fodiwlau ysgrifennu creadigol ar lefelau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig, gyda darlithoedd a gweithdai. Rwy'n goruchwylio myfyrwyr Blwyddyn Tri ar gyfer eu blwyddyn olaf Prosiect Ysgrifennu Creadigol a myfyrwyr MA ar gyfer eu Portffolios Ysgrifennu Creadigol 1 a 2.
