I am an historian of the British Empire and aspiring writer from Northamptonshire, UK. I graduated with my PhD in History from Queen's University (Canada) in the autumn of 2025.

My research focusses on the perception of British settler societies within the British Empire, with a particular interest in the long eighteenth century. Much of my work addresses British desires to construct "Neo-Britains" abroad and the subsequent impulses to further assimilate these settler colonies (in terms of people, environment, architecture, etc.) with the mother country. In this vein, I have more recently developed an interest in the connexion between natural history and empire. I am especially interested in the role native animals played in the British colonization of "new" lands.
