I hold a PhD in Screen and Media Culture and Literature in Spanish from University of Melbourne with a thesis on the cinema of Pedro Almodóvar and Ventura Pons. Over the course of my career I have taught film studies, film theory, and/or Spanish and Italian language and culture at University of Melbourne, Monash University (Monash Training and Professional Development), Auckland University (Centre for Continuing Education), and the international partnership HBU-UCLan School of Media, Communication & Creative Industries.

I take an interdisciplinary interest in film and media studies, cultural studies, philosophy, film festivals, language, literature and translation. In June 2025 my doctoral thesis - whose introduction has much in common with the 2024 exhibition "Madrid - Chica Almodóvar", held at Condeduque - was published as a book (Centre for Languages and Literature & OBLU). I am currently co-editing an interdisciplinary Bergman reader with proposed publishing date 2025-2026.
