What do I do?
I talk about and use words in every area of what I do. It drives the research I do on gender, language and Computer Science. It ties into the lyrics I write for my music. It’s what motivates the podcast where I talk to people about how they use words to tell stories.

What’s the overlap here? What’s my niche? And then I came to the realisation that it’s language. In my research I’m specifically looking at language, and then I interview authors about their books and I write music, and I’m obsessed with lyrics. It’s words.

Get Involved
Whatever your interest in words, and how they’re used I have a platform for you. From book reviews, to academic papers; or from a chat with an author on my podcast to a lyric inspired photo. Follow me on here and across my platforms for more words in your life.
Sharing book reviews and lyric inspired photos through a light academia aesthetic, my Instagram account is where it all began.
Podcast
Chatting to authors, songwriter and story tellers about their work? Yes, please! This podcast allows me to explore the use of language in a lot more depth.
Research
My research focuses on how gender affects language, which in turn, affects the design of software and interfaces. Learn more about my research here.
