Before starting my DPhil I studied Franco-German studies at the universities of La Sorbonne (Paris IV) and Bonn. I did a Master in German and Comparative Literature at the universities of Bonn and St Andrews.

My research focuses on women writers of the end of the nineteenth century in France, Germany and Norway. I analyse and compare their work and look at how they respond to Naturalist writing, especially when it comes to the representation of femininity and mental health. 

I was also part of the third cohort of Europeaum scholars, a programme aimed at DPhil students interested in European policy. Alongside a group of seven other students from all over Europe, I work on a project aiming at improving democratic participation.

I am also the Stipendiary Lecturer in German at the Queen's College, teaching Prelims (Paper II, III and IV) and Paper VIII.

You can listen to a podcast I did on a French woman writer, Georges de Peyrebrune here.

I am a co-organiser for the Oxford Scandinavian Studies Network.
