About

I study the environmental and gender history of early medieval northern Europe, particularly Wales and Merovingian Gaul. My work combines rigorous textual criticism with paleoscientific and archaeological data. I received my AB in History from Georgetown University in 2021 and my MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from the University of Cambridge in 2022. I am currently a PhD candidate at Georgetown University.

I have published on the Black Death in the Maghreb, on a sixth-century nuns' rebellion, and on the introduction of first-pandemic plague to Britain. My current projects focus on disaster and climate change (or lack thereof!) in Gildas' De excidio Britonum, and the disease history of first-millennium Britain.
