I am a Research Fellow in History of Art at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where I research the Tudor and Stuart visual art, music and literature.

I am an AHRC/BBC New Generation Thinker for 2019. Click todiscover more about the scheme.

During my AHRC-funded PhD at the University of Cambridge I also worked part-time as a Curatorial Intern at the National Portrait Gallery, London, on an exhibition of Tudor and Jacobean portrait miniatures. This work was supported by the AHRC Student Development Fund.

In 2018 I became a Founding Expert for PlaceCloud, a platform for geolocated podcasts. Click to listen to my placecasts.

I graduated with a First Class degree in History of Art from Cambridge University in 2014 when I was a recipient of St John's College's prestigious Larmor Award 'for students who excel both academically and in other aspects of life during their time in Cambridge'. I continued to complete an MPhil in History of Art and Architecture with Distinction. My MPhil thesis research considered the symbolism of clocks and dials in Tudor portraits, and was part-funded by the George Daniels Educational Trust, administered by the British Horological Institute and the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.
