About Me

I am a sociologist and media/film scholar. My work is interdisciplinary, focused on memory studies, conflict, sociology of education, film and media, body politics and gender studies.

I have been working as a teaching assistant since 2022 and a lecturer in Ireland across various third level institutions since 2023. My teaching experience is, as an extension of my research work, interdisciplinary and eclectic; I continue to lecture on social psychology, conflict, film scholarship as well as media and communications. I aim to continue working as an educator and researcher in the future.

The body of my written work stretches beyond academia into the realms of journalism, creative writing and occasionally poetry. I have also worked briefly in the entertainment industry as a reviewer and writer for talent agencies.
