Biography

Background

I have worked in science communication and public engagement since 2017, at a number of institutions and organisations in Edinburgh and Scotland; Edinburgh Science (Festival), Dynamic Earth, University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University, and the British Geological Survey.

I have many years experience in developing impactful and engaging public engagement activities with researchers from many different specialities (not limited to life sciences), and a number of years experience in delivering effective communications for differing audiences. 

 

Qualifications

BSc Biomedical Sciences - University of Manchester

MSc Science Communication and Public Engagement - University of Edinburgh

Responsibilities & affiliations

I am responsible for the communications and engagement from research at both the Centre for Regenerative Medicine and the Centre for Reproductive Health, as part of the Institute for Regeneration and Repair. 

I am now the Chair of the IRR's People and Culture Forum, working with colleagues across the institute to ensure it is an enjoyable and equitable place to work.
