I’m a full-time reporter with Research Fortnight, covering mostly UK science and research policy. I’m fascinated by the interplay between science and public policy, plus public involvement in making decisions about science, and would like to work more on these. See below the logos for more details about the work I’ve done.
I graduated from City University in 2012 with an MA (distinction) in science journalism and was awarded the Banks Prize for the top MA mark in City’s journalism school. You can also read my registry of interests.

From September 2009 to September 2011, I worked on staff at the IP Media Group, which publishes World Trademark Review and IAM Magazine, dynamic publications covering the business of intellectual property for managers of major global brands.
While studying the Science Journalism MA at City University in London, I wrote freelance articles on science and science policy, health, domain names and internet governance, theatre and current affairs.
In a previous role I contributed to the UK’s most publication for law students, LawCareers.Net, and its sister publication, The Training Contract and Pupillage Handbook. I have written marketing material for the Rough Guides website and, as news editor for Nottingham student magazine Platform, I reported on and commissioned a wide variety of features and news, some of which were also published on the BBC Nottingham website. During my time in the USA, I reported on the 2004 presidential election for a column nominated for a Guardian Student Media Award.
