PORTFOLIO
About me
I'm a writer, author and communicator with a background in science. I have a degree in Evolutionary Biology and recently completed my MSc in Science Communication, despite COVID's attempts to de-rail it. Along with music and baked goods, science and nature are the long-standing loves of my life. Writing gives me the chance to share incredible facts, people, places and projects with others, as well as the opportunity to spotlight conservation issues - if I can get readers excited about the world and interested in its protection then I'm doing my job right.
