Heather is a PhD candidate in the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies program. She is a horror scholar whose doctoral project proposes a new critical framework for understanding the found footage horror subgenre, engaging more broadly with the connections between genre cinema, digital media, and contemporary cultural anxieties.
She holds an MA in English Language and Literature, as well as a BAH in Spanish and a combined BAH in English and Art History.
Heather has presented and published papers on the intersection of found footage horror with topics such as parody, eco horror, influencer culture, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, she presented her paper “It’s a Man’s (Digital) World: Women, Technology, and Autonomy in CTRL (2024)” at the FMSAC 2025 annual conference. She also wrote a piece for exploring themes of wealth and class inequality in eat-the-rich horror films, which she discussed in a series of follow-up interviews on CBC Radio.
