The natural world continues to inspire me every day, yet this sense of awe is accompanied by a growing awareness of the deep disconnect between humanity and the environment.

Driven by this realisation, I have dedicated myself to exploring the complexities of our relationship with nature, seeking ways to contribute to a more reciprocal and regenerative ecological narrative. With a background in biology, I investigate spaces where collaboration between humans and ecosystems can thrive, helping to inform and reshape our collective practices.

I’m a biochemistry graduate from the University of Bristol. I strongly believe that science is for everyone, but public interest is generated by accessible and entertaining communication. The challenges of this century, including the climate crisis, will be addressed in no small part through scientific and technological advances. Generating public awareness of these achievements is essential for avoiding climate catastrophism and apathy, as well as combatting climate crisis denial. The depoliticization of our collective emergency can only be achieved through objective, accessible, scientific education.

It’s also really interesting and fun!
