I was born in London and lived there until moving to sunny Sheffield to do a degree in molecular biology. In my final year there I had my first taste of proper research, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I did my PhD in Joe Marsh’s group in Edinburgh, and along the way my head was turned by evolutionary biology and genomics. I transposed to the Feschotte lab early in 2019, and I am currently studying co-evolution between zinc finger proteins and transposable elements in zebrafish and beyond. When I’m not doing science, I love climbing, reading, and discovering the local flora and fauna.
