My work is in photography and writing. I completed a practice-led PhD in Fine Art (Photography, Writing) at the Royal College of Art, 2020, which explored the figure of the witness. I also have an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography (Distinction) from the University of the Arts London, an MA in English Literature (First Class Hons) from the University of Edinburgh, and an FdA in Photography from the Arts University Bournemouth.

Previously, I worked as a Picture Researcher at Taschen Books America on several books, including London: A Portrait of a City, The Rolling Stones, and Her Majesty The Queen, and The Telegraph Magazine; Technical Editor at Photography Monthly (Archant Media), and Staff Writer at The British Journal of Photography, where I explored, among many other feature articles and interviews, artists who collaborate.
