    • About Me:

      I live in south shields with my little sister. I love to play games, climb and read. I studied biology and how to talk about science.

      I live close to the beach so I can go look at sea creatures and lots of dogs! Sometimes I even go hunting for fossils. There are lots of jelly fish in the waters around me and I often like to try and draw them.

      When I’m not at work or the beach I like to read and write. I love fantasy books and trying to figure out how the magic could be made real through science. I read everything from books to comics and manga. I especially like batman and harry potter.

      I also love to rock climb and climb trees. It’s a full body sport where you have to figure out where to hold on like a puzzle.

      My favourite book: Skulduggery Pleasant series

      My favourite game: Dungeons and Dragons

    • My Work:

      I work as a science communicator, meaning that I help people to understand all types of science. I do this via my writing, performing on stage or online and in workshops. Ask me any science questions (maybe about the body, plants and animals)
