Teacher and researcher.
Born, raised, and writing in Dharug country, Araluen is a descendant of the Bundjalung nation. In 2017, while working in Indigenous literatures at the University of Sydney, she was the winner of the 2016 Nakata Brophy Prize for Young Indigenous Writers: she had previously been a runner-up for the award in 2015, for 'Learning Bundjalung on Tharawal'. She is also the winner of the Overland Judith Wright Poetry Prize (2017 award, won in 2018).
In August 2019, Araluen was appointed as one of two new co-editors for Overland, with Jonathan Dunk: the appointments followed the first open advertisement of the magazine's editorship in its 65-year history.
