As a scholar, I am fascinated in exploring the intersections between visual media (film, television, video games and online video), technology and culture, particular the impact of digital technologies on perception and experience. 

New media forms and experiences are at the heart of my research, past and present. 

I was awarded a PhD from the University of Leeds (2019) for my work on factual television and heritage, proposing a new genre of television defined by its relationship with the British heritage film. Prior to PhD, I earned a Masters by Research from Swansea University (2013) investigating the impact of then emerging streaming platforms on our understanding and experience of television. I had a formal education in Film and Television Studies, with a focus on World Cinemas, completing a BA (Hons) in Screen Studies from Swansea University (2009), and I am qualified to teach in post-compulsory education, holding a PGCE from the University of Wales Newport.
