I am the study program coordinator and study advisor at the English Department. I also teach courses in literature. If you are looking for study advice, you can reach me at englishstudies@es.uzh.ch.  

I received my PhD in English Literature from the University of Zurich in 2023. My dissertation entitled Writing the Caribbean: Race and Sexuality in (Neo-)Victorian Narratives studies how dispositives of race and sexuality developed in and through the anglophone Caribbean in the nineteenth century and remain active even today, a continuity that is particularly evident in historical fiction. I hold an MA in English Literature from the University of Zurich as well as a BA in English Literature and Linguistics. 

I published“An Oceanic Nation of Pirates in Emmanuel Appadocca” with Romance, Revolution & Reform in 2022. My chapter “Caribbean Madwomen in Laura Fish’s Strange Music” was part of the edited volume Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media (Palgrave, 2020). I also acted as deputy-editor-in-chief of Variations, the Literary Journal at the University of Zurich from 2022 to 2024.  

In June 2024, I co-organised the Women and Crime Fiction Workshop, support by a grant by the graduate campus of the University of Zurich and a grant by the UZH Alumni. I was part of the School of Criticism and Theory summer school at Cornell University in 2022. In February 2020, I was a co-organiser of the Interdisciplinary Fan Fiction Workshop, also supported by a grant by the graduate campus of the University of Zurich. 

I am available to supervise BA and MA theses.
