Biography

I recently completed my PhD in History at the University of Hull in the UK, with a thesis titled ‘The Two Norths: Identity and hybridity in Yorkshire and Northumberland, 1066-1215″.

My main interest is in Medieval frontiers and identities, particularly in Medieval England and the Crusader States. I completed a BA and MRes at the University of Hull, in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Additionally, I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

I am a founding committee member of the Ridings of Yorkshire Society (ROYS), and help to organise the society’s annual conference each year. You can find more information on the society here.

I have also recently taken on the role of Assistant Editor for the Ryedale Historian, the journal of the Helmsley Archaeological and Historical Society.

In my spare time, I am a qualified Level 5 Association Football referee, and formerly participated in the FA’s Young Referee Development Programme.
