I am a water geographer and engineer. My research explores the material and discursive processes of dynamic waterscapes. I am committed to undisciplinary research that brings critical social theory and environmental history into conversation with methods and theories from hydrology and ecology. I ground my work in political ecology, critical geography and feminist STS. My PhD, awarded March 2023, examined articulations of water justice in three constructed wetland projects in India and Scotland. Building upon hydrosocial theory, this research developed theorisations of water quality and habitability in more-than-human waterscapes. I have a masters degree in ecohydrology and a bachelors degree in civil and environmental engineering. I am currently employed as an engineering consultant, working on flood modelling and river restoration projects. Whether through research, activism or applied projects, I aim to envision and create flourishing waterscapes.
