I have studied Fine Art (BA (hons) 2006) and Nursing (BSc (hons) 2010) and worked as a community nurse in London. Follwing this I worked in applied health research while studying Medical Anthropology (MSc 2016). I am currently a PhD student at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit.

I am a current PhD student working on a project titled "Maternal perceptions of media representations of `parental determinism' and the impact of these on their wellbeing".

I am interested in studies of caring, the internet, the media and materialities of care.
