Brief Biography: 

I specialise in global health communications and have worked with high level academics and policy advisors to promote research at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Imperial College London.

After graduating with a BSc Hons Natural Sciences from Durhan University I went on to gain an MSc Science Media Production (Distinction) from Imperial College London.

Since graduating, I have worked in a number of roles such as a researcher on science television programmes for Channel 4 and the BBC and a children's science show presenter in London's Science Museum. My varied background allows me to ensure complex science is communicated in a clear, accurate way.
