Katy moved to Oxford to study for an MSt in Medieval History, intending to only stay a year. Having fallen in love with the city, she began a career in university administration, working first in the English Faculty in a variety of roles before working on a University-wide fundraising scheme for graduate scholarships. She became the Senior Tutor at Wycliffe in 2016, where she looks after all aspects of academic administration, including the Library.
Katy lives with her husband Peter and their two black cats, and in her spare time she enjoys cooking, drinking wine (completing her WSET Level 3 qualification in wine tasting in 2019), and reading historical detective fiction.
