Worked with
I'm a PhD student in astrophysics at the University of Cambridge. Alongside my research, I write and present science across YouTube, broadcast, festivals, and social media.
As a writer for PBS Space Time my scripts have been viewed by over ten million people. As a presenter and creator I reach a combined social audience of around 85,000, and have collaborated with selected external partners including Taskade and Netflix. I have also trained with London's Free Association improvisation school, and have starred in two award-winning short films, one of which I co-wrote.
I am passionate about making science fun and accessible to everyone. My aim is to offer trustworthy educational content, with a focus on being accurate, entertaining, and understandable to all. Science should not just be technically valuable, but emotionally resonant, so it is important to me that my work captures the wonder of the universe in a way that is exciting as well as merely informative.

Writing
I pitch and write scripts for PBS Space Time, one of the world's leading science channels, with more than three million subscribers. Beyond scripting, I contribute graphic-effects notes and production review, shaping how the most exciting ideas in physics are visualised and explained on screen.
Writing
Longer-form, personal essays, separate from my scripting work for PBS Space Time.
