I received my PhD from King's College London, writing a thesis on the Ḥatäta Zär’a Ya‛ǝqob, supervised by Sara Marzagora and Toby Green. Before starting at King’s, I worked as a teacher in a Greek phrontisterio, a convent in Hampstead and a tutor across the suburbs of north London. Before that I read for the BPhil in Philosophy at Wadham College, Oxford, where I wrote a thesis about ‘the anxiety of alternatives’ with Prof A.W. Moore. Before that I lived in a small village in Crete and studied at the University of Kent in Canterbury, having spent a year as an exchange student at the Université Paris IV – la Sorbonne.

​

My philosophical heroes are Wittgenstein, Kant and Leibowitz. Some of the writers I love most are Amos Oz, Nikos Kazantzakis, Ursula le Guin and W.G Sebald. Musically I like Psarantonis, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, Debussy, Mulatu Astatke, Kendrick Lamar. My favourite places in the world are Mull, Ein Gedi and Sfakia, where the above photograph was taken.
