I am a palaeontologist and science communicator, specialising in creative storytelling through social media and video production. A life-long interest in nature was inspired by family roots in Africa and adventures around the world. I channeled these interests into academic study, completing an MSci in Earth Sciences and a PhD in Palaeontology at the University of Birmingham.

During my PhD, I studied 270 million year old mammal ancestors and used cranial reconstructions to better understand the evolution of mammalian cognition and sensory characteristics that allowed the group to survive the time of the dinosaurs and thrive today.

I thoroughly enjoy creatively disseminating science to make research accessible for all and most recently worked at Oxford Sparks, producing science videos and podcasts.

The role was a deep dive into video production, with roles as a script writer, editor, production manager, runner on documentary shoots, and one or two moments as a stunt double!

I have worked in a plethora of sci com roles, including creating illustrations for the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, researching a conservation popular science book, interviewing documentary broadcasters, sharing earth science communications at Imperial College London, social media marketing at Springer Nature Group, event management for Pint of Science, and script writing for Science Animated.
