I am a PhD candidate in the department of English at Exeter University.

I undertook my BA in English Literature at Harris Manchester College, Oxford University. My finals paper focused on psychology in nineteenth century ghost stories, exploring how the genre articulated Victorian crises of faith arising from the popularisation of psychology. In 2012 I went on to study an MA in Creative Writing at Exeter University, focusing particularly on nineteenth century anitquarianism.

Before returning to academia in 2018, I worked for several years as an editorial consultant in the field of International Development. Clients included global organisations such as: the International Development Research Centre in Canada; UNICEF and WHO. I have also worked abroad teaching English in Poland and Spain.
