I studied for a BA in Theology at the University of Oxford before completing a PhD at the University of Bristol, with a doctoral thesis examining the role of leprosy in the life and thought of the early Franciscan Order. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral fellow at the British School at Rome, I researched the presence of medical theory in thirteenth-century preaching manuscripts. From 2020 to 2022, I was Lecturer in Medieval Christianity at the University of Bristol. I then returned to Oxford, and am now Subject Lead for Theology and Religion for the Astrophoria Foundation Year. In addition to this role, I teach several undergraduate Theology and Religion papers and am a Study Skills Lecturer at Lady Margaret Hall. I continue to research metaphors of health and illness in medieval sermons, and medieval religious culture more broadly.
