Biography:
I’m a UK-based historian and writer. My first book "Rogue Revolutionaries: The Fight for Legitimacy in the Greater Caribbean" (The University of Pennsylvania Press: 2020) won the Gilbert Chinard book prize granted by the Society for French Historical Studies. My work engages with issues of citizenship, race, and migration. I have worked in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom and taught American and Caribbean history, European imperialism, and the Atlantic slave trade. I have experience in conference organizing, public engagement, university administration and management. I've also worked at various museums and historical societies on Latin American art collections.
I am now a qualification and assessment specialist at a non-profit organization. I'm responsible for the production, design, and development of national qualifications and assessments.
