Science writer: news, features, reviews | Physicist | Climate Scientist | PhD in Physical Oceanography

Profile Summary

I have master's degrees in physics and mathematics, and a PhD in physics from Imperial College London. In my last job, I wrote almost 200 educational articles on physics for the online learning platform Up Learn. Previously, I oversaw the editorial process for over 60 articles written by academics for the educational website and outreach project Know it Wall. As an undergraduate, I wrote for Imperial College's Felix newspaper and I, Science magazine. I have an exceptional eye for detail and I'm quickly able to adapt my writing style and tone for the piece at hand.
