About

I am currently in the final year of her PhD project and am common fixture at Flinders’ Bedford campus. After completing my BA/BeD undergraduate degree I continued on to finish my honours project in 2015, before entering the PhD program in 2016. My research focuses on the authenticity of historical-based film and television programs – with a particular focus on the filmmakers’ uses of traditional archival material and the adaptation processes used to appropriate them for the screen. Due to this particular interest, I am an avid cinemagoer and proud binge-watcher. I enjoy a wide variety of genres, including historical, fantasy, science-fiction (mostly Star Wars) and comedy (preferably British).
