My areas of expertise are art and architecture, religion and theology, theatre, gender studies, and politics. My further areas of interest are natural history, particularly palaeontology, and sports (basketball, cricket, and snooker). I have a passion for literature, especially fantasy and science-fiction. I’m currently employed by an open access academic publishing house as an English Editor (see CV for more details) (see ORCID for awards). I’m a gifted researcher and writer, having published one monograph thus far and 15 peer-reviewed journal articles. I’m analytically minded and detail-oriented.
