About

ABOUT ME

There were many things I wanted to be growing up, but by the time I applied to University, I had decided I wanted to be a research chemist, so I could discover a cure for cancer (obviously).

Unfortunately, what I actually discovered was that I was really bad at working in a lab (like, dangerously bad).

So, for the sake of everyone's safety (including my own), I decided to dedicate my career to talking about science instead - first, as a secondary school teacher, and now as a science producer and author.

I hope I can inspire other people to go and discover cures and do all the other wonderful things that scientists do, while not being left in charge of any potentially explosive chemicals!

Take a look at some of the things I've worked on...

Other Writing

In 2020, I was shortlisted for the M6 Theatre monologue competition, Love in the Time of Corona. Read my script.

*Strictly speaking, it's my second non-fiction book. I wrote my first one - Rabbits - when I was six. Sadly, it remains unpublished, but you can see a sample of it here.
