About me

I am a writer who has created audio drama, short stories, screen and theatre plays, and one or two love letters.

I’ve lived in London, Barcelona, Madrid, Los Angeles, Oban, Edinburgh, and Bristol. My accent can be weird.

I became a science writer by accident, and I’ve now worked with a variety of organisations, including the Royal Astronomical Society, The Alan Turing Institute, and the Smithsonian Channel. I’ve taught English as a Foreign Language to people of many different nationalities and professions, walked El Camino de Santiago in Spain, driven across the USA to witness Obama’s inauguration, and swum with piggies in the Bahamas.

I continue to write content and simplify complex ideas for adults, children, non-technical senior stakeholders, and vulnerable groups, frequently through connective storytelling.

Things I love include stories, cosmology, nieces, cheese, penguins, trusting something you can’t see, and defeating haters. We are all ugly bags of mostly water, and I think that’s beautiful.
