Bio: Annabel

Annabel Carr
PhD Candidate, gin enthusiast, grammar zealot, Vice President

Long-term denizen of the Woolley Building, Annabel is an advocate of learning for learning’s sake. Once, she even memorised the states of the USA in alphabetical order. She is also polished in the art of scholarly procrastination (see previous sentence).

Annabel reads a lot, writes a little, pats stray dogs, and never partakes of dinner without dessert. Annabel is also learning French; “Vous pouvez m’aider, s’il vous plâit? J’ai une échelle dans mes bas” (Can you help me, please? I have a ladder in my pantyhose).

Under the supervision of Dr Chris Hartney, Annabel is working on a PhD about the recurring image of the lost child in Australian folklore. Know of any missing kids? She’d love to hear about it.

Annabel likes it lots of ways. Mostly she likes it spelled correctly.
