 I am a first-year MPhil in European Politics and Society at Wolfson College. I am currently researching the impact of radical right parties on the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, particularly looking at the EU's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Prior to studying at Oxford, I graduated from King's College London with a BA in Politics, where my undergraduate dissertation focused on EU aid securitisation in Africa. During my undergraduate degree, I worked as a research assistant for Dr Gwiazda, contributing to research on gendered democracies in Eastern and Western Europe. My work on women's substantive representation, focusing on female leaders of far-right populist parties, received the second-best prize of the Brenda Trenowden Feminist Analysis Essay Prize.
