I am an ESRC-funded doctoral researcher and senior teaching assistant at Swansea University. My PhD examines Welsh among young people, with a particular focus on new Welsh speakers and the factors shaping their language use or disuse. My interests include language attitudes, identity, and belief systems, which I explore through mixed-methods approaches.

I have previously worked as a research assistant on several projects and have completed degrees in English and Social Research Methods. I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Education and a CELTA. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on the Step Up to Swansea participation programme, supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Beyond academia, I am a short fiction writer. My work has been published by Parthian Books, and my debut short story Cracked/Duck was shortlisted for the 2022 Rhys Davies Short Story Award. I am passionate about language, literature, and widening access to education, with broader interests in psycholinguistics, dialectology, and language policy and planning. I am also a member of several professional bodies, including BAAL, EuroSLA, LAGB, the Celtic Students' Association, and the Chartered College of Teachers.
