Biography

Writer and editor with over 13 years’ experience writing across a broad range of scientific and health-related disciplines. I always say I know a little about a lot. I’m lucky enough to cover numerous different topics spanning the broad umbrella of ‘science’ including: climate change, weather and environmental science; astronomy and space science; sensors and optics; nanotechnology; material science; and medicine, health and wellbeing. I don’t have a ‘specialist area’ per se, but I am drawn to topics with a green angle, whether that be how climate change is affecting our weather patterns and natural disasters, or how a newly developed material could replace carbon-emitting fossil fuels. I also enjoy writing pieces focusing in the ‘how’ and ‘why’ – so why children starting primary school undergo certain health checks, or whether teeth are bones and how often we should be flossing them. Because I cover such a wide range of scientific topics, I have become skilled at taking complex information from journals, scientific papers and press releases, and transforming it into something interesting and informative for any audience. I have experience of writing for both B2B and B2C publications and understand the importance of tailoring my article to your audience. My articles have appeared in/on Environmental Health News, LiveScience, Forward, Harpers Bazaar, Forward, Patient, Netdoctor, YourWeather, various AZo Networks and NS Media titles, and in the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health publications. But that’s not the end of my skills; I’ve also written content for publications focussing on law, airports, mining and more - I’ve even provided content for a well-known funeral plan provider! I’m also skilled at proofreading and editing, taking on a number of projects for websites and medical professionals.
