I have been working with words, written and spoken, since 2012. I’ve written up lectures for undergraduates at all levels from introductory lectures, to seminar materials, to talks on film adaptations and their connection to their original texts. More recently, I’ve created marketing campaigns, edited the recently rediscovered Fatal Errors; or Poor Mary-Anne. A Tale of the Last Century by Elizabeth Hays Lanfear and several articles on a freelance basis. I have also written lectures and made short form content on history and heritage that are designed to engage people outside of the academy and make research more accessible.
