Lecturer at Cardiff University and member of the Centre for Language and Communication Research. Her research focuses of the make-up of medieval English vocabulary from different perspectives (etymology, sociolinguistics and stylistics).<\/p>\n

After completing two BAs (BA in English Philology and BA in Spanish Philology) and the equivalent of an MA in English Philology at the University of Valencia (Spain), she pursued an MPhil and a PhD at the University of Cambridge, in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. She was then granted a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, which she took at the University of Nottingham (School of English).<\/p>\n

Having spent six years in Nottingham (2004-2010), first as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a lecturer, she joined the Department of English, Linguistics and Cultural Studies at the University of Westminster, where she taught over five years (2010-2016) before becoming a lecturer at Cardiff University.<\/p>\n
