She holds a PhD in Creative Writing from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK, exploring affective learning, intersectionality of feminism and Indigeneity, and fan fiction-modelled storytelling. The creative component included a fan-fiction styled novel set in the Marvel (Comics) Cinematic Universe, but starring an Indigenous superhero.
