I graduated with a First Class honours degree in Media from York St John University in 2011. In 2012 I completed my MA in Cinema, Television and Society at the University of York, graduating with Distinction. From there, I won a fully-funded studentship to complete a PhD in Film Studies at the University of East Anglia (UEA), successfully defending my thesis in 2016. Whilst studying at the UEA, I also taught as an associate tutor on a number of undergraduate modules. In 2017, I returned to York St John as a full-time academic staff member.
