I completed my BA at The University of Birmingham in 2021, achieving a first class in my dual honours English Literature and French degree. During this time , I completed an Erasmus year in Montpellier, France, and spent my final year specialising in women's literature, fairy tales, and maternity.
I then undertook the Shakespeare Studies MA from 2022-2023 at The Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and was awarded a Distinction. Here, my research built upon my interests in women's studies and the female body, such as pregnancy and gossip, as explored in early modern performing arts.
Following my BA degree, I worked as a lectrice at the Université de Paul Valery III in Montpellier. There I taught undergraduate English Literature, Language and History classes, supervised final year dissertations and ran supplementary language exchange events.
A year later, after my MA in Stratford, I was invited to return to Montpellier to teach for a second year. Alongside this, I was also welcomed into the IRCL (Institue de recherche sur la Renaissance, l'age Classique et les Lumieres). I worked with members of the department on Shakespearean research and submitted to their journal Cahiers Elisabéthiens.
