I am a PhD candidate in German literature at King’s College London (supervised by Áine McMurty) and jointly at the University of Stuttgart (supervised by Sandra Richter). My research focuses on German-Jewish women’s life writing in exile in the English-speaking world, with a special interest in the work of Vicki Baum, Gina Kaus, Gabriele Tergit, and Salka Viertel. At Stuttgart, I taught seminars in modern German literature; at King’s, I teach in Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Department for Culture, Media and Creative Industries. 

My work project is funded by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes). I am an alumna of the 2024-25 Leo Baeck Fellowship. I am also a Visiting Fellow of the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies at Senate House (School of Advanced Study, University of London). In 2025, I gave the Institute’s Sylvia Naish Lecture. My lecture “Berlin Family Chronicles: Gabriele Tergit’s Exile Novel ‘Effingers’” is available here.

My work has been published in a number of edited volumes. A full list is available here.
