I began my studies by reading for an undergraduate degree in History and a Master's degree in Classics at the University of Manchester. I then moved to the University of Liverpool, where I completed a PhD on the topic of Herodotean intertextuality under the supervision of Professor Tom Harrison and Professor Graham Oliver. Since then I have held positions at the University of Liverpool, the University of Leicester and The Open University. I joined the University of Leicester as Lecturer in Ancient History in August 2021.
