About me:

I'm currently working on my PhD in climate change narratives and storytelling, collaborating with the Eden Project and three of their international sites. The project aims to use participatory methods to co-create a pluralisation of climate change narratives in alignment with broader de- and anti-colonial objectives, and is supported by the SWDTP studentship programme.

I am interested in different forms of storytelling (especially comic strips) and climate change narratives. I have also previously done research on the Beau Geste Press 1970s printing commune.

I have a BA in English and French from the University of Warwick, an MA in Critical Writing in Art and Design from the Royal College of Art, and an MRes in Critical Human Geography from the University of Exeter, where I am also currently working on my PhD.

I have worked as a freelance researcher, writer and lecturer for contemporary art museums and literary archives. I have also worked as part of the creative team at the Eden Project for the last six years, focusing on experience design for the international sites. I freelance illustrate and translate (French to English) and am also a full-time mum!
