About me
Recent MA graduate from the Courtauld Institute of Art specializing in modern architectural history of early 20th century Europe and America. Within this specialism I have found a niche in the discourse surrounding heritage and colonialism in architectural theory. I am interested in pursuing a career in curatorial practice in any area or medium relating to 20th century architecture and design.

BA(Hons) History of ArtThe Courtauld Institute of Art
- London, United Kingdom
During my undergraduate study at the Courtauld, I took several 20th century related courses, including:
- ‘Graphic Expressions: Printmaking in Germany 1880-1937’
- ‘Avant-Gardes and Neo-Avant-Gardes’
- ‘The Modern Interior’
- ‘Surrealism: History, Themes, and Concepts’
- ‘Art and the Modern Nation: from medieval Islam to post-modern Iran’
I also participated in courses that explored the employment of methodology and theory in art historical practice.
My second year dissertation was titled: ‘Nescience and Decrepitude: The Anonymity of American Social Housing’. The dissertation was devised with Dr Robin Schuldenfrei. My research question addressed the anonymity of New York City’s social housing complexes; both in the context of the canon of art history and within socio-political discourse. I received a First Class mark.
Titled ‘Facades of Modernity: Nationalism and Mussolini’s Architectural Program’, my final undergraduate dissertation was supervised by Dr Robin Schuldenfrei. The dissertation explored the tenuous relationship between fascism and modernism in Mussolini’s Italy with a specific focus on the dictator’s architectural commissions. I received a First Class mark.
I received an overall Upper Second Class mark.
