In 2003, Kirstin Mills persued her interest in art, literature and creativity into academic fields when she entered as an Undergraduate in a Bachelor of Arts at Macquarie University. Majoring in English Literature and also enjoying Ancient History, Ancient Languages and Journalism, she graduated four years later with First Class Honours. After a year's break, in which she focused on developing her art business, she returned once more to the realm of stories, books and the exciting journeys of rigorous academic research into the unknown when she was admitted in 2008 to Macquarie University's Postgraduate English Literature program as a PhD candidate. Since then she has been absorbed in the exciting and new fields she is discovering as she works towards the completion of her doctoral dissertation, which investigates the relationships between dreams, the supernatural and fantasy literature in the Nineteenth Century.

While she works away at her thesis at Macquarie University, Kirstin also enjoys working as a tutor for the English Literature subject ENGL120: Approaches to English Literature.
