She holds an MA in Critical Writing from the Royal College of Art (London) and a BA in English Literature from Trinity College, Dublin.

Her work spans literary criticism and art writing, with essays appearing in ArtReview, Financial Times, Artforum, and others. She co-authored the forthcoming book Pleasure Gardens (MACK, 2024), examining Kashmir's 2019 communication blackout and its geopolitical implications.
