I completed my BA in Modern Languages at New College, Oxford, before undertaking an MSt in Spanish at The Queen's College and a DPhil at Christ Church. My thesis focuses on the novelised biographies and historical fiction of Venezuelan psychiatrist-turned-novelist Francisco Herrera Luque.

More broadly, my research interests encompass modern Latin American prose literature, particularly political fiction, the 'Boom', and the novela del dictador.

As a Departmental Lecturer based at St Catherine's and St John's Colleges, I teach Latin American literature from Independence to the present (especially Papers VIII and XI), as well as the entire Spanish Prelims course and Spanish-English translation. I also co-teach the Latin American Cinema Paper XII option, the Introduction to Hispanic Film Prelims paper, and the interdisciplinary Contesting Colonialisms MSt module, in addition to supervising undergraduate dissertations and extended essays.
