I completed 4 years of a PhD on Victorian women’s magazines. In general I am interested in the history of British popular culture, especially circus, stage magic, comics, and ballet.
I have travelled extensively and particularly enjoy train travel. In 2000 I travelled from London to Beijing by train (via Siberia and Mongolia).
I have worked on feature films as a stand-in, extra, and actress. My film CV includes working on the Harry Potter films, Batman: The Dark Knight, Jane Eyre, and a speaking role in Finding Neverland.
I worked for several years in TV and film as a runner and in the Art department. I was once the costume mistress of a London theatre.
