- About me
-
I am a doctoral candidate at the GCSC and IPP studying cinematic ekphrasis and the representation of films in fiction. Before coming to the GCSC, I graduated from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin with a Master's degree in British Studies and worked in the education sector in Germany and the UK. At the GCSC, I am a part of the PhDnet team helping with the organisation of PhDnet events and supporting PhDnet members throughout their joint doctoral degrees.
