I was educated in a public ‘requires improvement’ school, so I understand how hard it can be to progress into a STEM subject without the proper support. I am an advocate for women in STEM and would be happy to chat about my educational and career journey.

I enjoy climbing, tending to my weird house plants, and looking after my two cats ( a tabby and a black cat 🐈‍⬛).
