I graduated from the University of Warwick in 2012 with an LL.B. in European Law and a Master II in comparative environmental law jointly awarded by the University of Warwick, Université de Lille 2, and Universität des Saarlandes. I was subsequently awarded an LL.M. in Advanced Public International Law from Leiden University’s Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies specialising in Peace, Justice & Development. In 2015, I was awarded an MRes in Environment, Energy & Resilience (with distinction) by the University of Bristol.
 
My interdisciplinary doctorate examining international huamn rights law and climate justice in South Pacific Small Island Developing States was awarded by the University of Bristol in 2020. My PhD was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and included a three month visiting researcher appointment at the University of the South Pacific School of Law in Vanuatu.   
 
I have previous experience working in the legal offices of international organisations and research institutes, including the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Council of Europe, and the Centre for the Law of EU External Relations (CLEER) at the T.M.C. Asser Institute.  

Before returning to Bristol in January 2022, I worked as a Consultant Lecturer and Unit Coordinator in Regional Environmental Law for the University of the South Pacific and as a Lecturer in Law at the University of Exeter.
