About: I am a final year DPhil student in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies with a specific focus on Armenia at Oxford University. My doctoral thesis considers how Modern Armenian artists engage with traditional Armenian culture and what this can say about the interaction between cultural memory and identity. I completed my MA at the Courtauld Institute of Art and my BA at the University of Cambridge. I am originally from London and have professional experience in corporate strategy, crisis management and publishing. I am currently a Junior Dean at an Oxford college. I also have a background in charity fundraising, DEI advocacy, and journal editing.

Fun fact: My main hobbies are art, photography, reading, hiking and watching thought-provoking films. My proudest achievement is getting our dog to sit still.
