Biography
I am an award-winning science journalist and a health industry veteran who has taught and worked in the field. Featured by numerous prestigious brands and publishers, I specialize in clinical trial innovation–-expertise I gained while working in multiple positions within the private sector, the NHS, and Oxford University, where I taught undergraduates the spectrum of biological sciences integrating physics for over four years. I recently secured tenure as a committee member for the Smart Works Charity, which helps women find employment in the UK. An avid reader and expert, I have also been asked by a best-selling author to act as a scientific advisor on his next book for a major publishing house.
