ABOUT ME

I graduated from St Mary's University, London with a first-class bachelor's degree in Applied Physics. Upon graduating, I worked as an Astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, where I communicated topics in Astronomy (Astrobiology, Cosmology, Geophysics etc.) and Space technology to members of the public (Young Astronomers Workshop/Observatory Unlocked). In 2020, I completed a science journalism internship at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). I am now an Astrophysics PhD student at the University of Warwick, studying Exoplanet Atmospheres.

In my spare time I read a lot of books (currently reading The Themis Files Trilogy (highly recommended)).

 I also enjoy talking about movies, singing and playing my guitar.
