I completed my BA in English at The College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara in 2002. From 2002-4 I was an MPhil student at Exeter College, Oxford, where I was a Clarendon Scholar, Overseas Research Student, and the Amelia Jackson Senior Student. From 2008-11 I was Stipendiary Lecturer in English at Oxford (St Catherine's College and Lincoln College), and the Bamborough Junior Research Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford. I was Lecturer in English at the University of Wollongong in New South Wales before coming to Exeter in August, 2013.
