About me...
I am a historian of early modern England, specialising in the social and economic lives of women in the seventeenth century, and the history of institutional record keeping.
My academic background:
I hold a PhD in History from the University of York and have over eight years’ experience researching at archives across the UK.
From 2020 to 2022, I taught at the History Department at the University of Sheffield, and in both the History and Economics Departments at the University of York where I was awarded the History prize in 2021 and the Aronson Teaching Prize in Economics in 2022. In 2025, I was awarded the Curriers' Essay Prize for my article ‘Curia Orphanorum?: Orphan Administration and Record Keeping in the City of London, 1660-1725.
Today:
Since 2022 I have worked at The London Archives, where I am a trainee Archivist, and I previously held posts at The National Trust, York Museums Trust, and York Archaeology. I currently live in East London.
Through the University of York, I am a Research Associate at the Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (CREMS).
