I am a writer, art historian, researcher and educator. With a PhD in Art History from the University of Leeds, I currently teach at The Courtauld and The Open University.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by how we make sense of our worlds through making things and telling stories.
I have authored Milk: An Intimate History of Breastfeeding (2023) and co-edited Asia-Art-Activism (2023).
Beyond academic work, I write for outlets like The Observer and Hyperallergic, and have received recognition for my creative non-fiction. As an editor and teacher of creative writing I specialise in helping people at all stages of their writing careers shape their vision, lean into their creativity, as well as offer help with structural and line edits. I also run online workshops and teach creative writing, specialising in helping writers at all stages refine their ideas, structure, and voice.
My work spans non-fiction, cultural histories, feminism, art, and architecture. I’ve had the privilege of working with organisations and individuals looking to tell their stories with clarity and impact. You can explore my academic work, publications, and teaching here or download my CV.
I am currently working on my second nonfiction book. ​
Perhaps my greatest achievement was becoming the subject of a satirical cartoon in Private Eye:
