Overview
After ten years working in video production, I returned to academia to merge my skills as a video ethnographer and documentary filmmaker with academic research. As a woman cyclist myself, I am keen to explore how the affective experiences of cycling operate both as a form of freedom and as a mode of bodily regulation for women. To this end, I am developing innovative video methods to gain nuanced insights into embodied knowledge, and to expand the possibilities of video ethnography.
Research
My PhD examines the affective experiences of childfree women endurance cyclists in Portugal.

Biography
My interests span across mobility, gender, sports studies, and creative methods. I hold an MSc in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London (2013–2014), and an MSc in Social Science Research Methods from Cardiff University (2023–2024). Between these periods, I worked as a documentary filmmaker and video ethnographer, living in France, the UK, and Portugal.
