I am a writer based in Dublin, where I serve as historian-in-residence at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. My research primarily focuses on recovering the experiences of migrant and working people, particularly the many young women who left Ireland in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

I am committed to making historical scholarship accessible to public audiences and have curated exhibitions that have toured Ireland, India, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, the UK and the US.

My first book,Intimate Connections: Irish Domestic Servants in Transatlantic Culture, c. 1870-1945 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025), examines popular understandings of Irish immigrant workers in Britain and the US, drawing on sources including print media, films, memoirs, family letters and oral histories. It received the Lawrence J. McCaffrey Prize (Honourable Mention) for Books on Irish America.
