Profile

I received my BA in English at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and completed a year abroad at the University of Sussex. I came to Queen Mary in 2016 for an MA in English Studies: Contemporary Writing and have since completed my doctoral thesis on second-person narration and anticipatory shame in contemporary novels, memoirs, television series and hypertext fiction. My article on Fleabag was published in Textual Practice
