About me

- I grew up in Coventry in the UK, and did my undergraduate degree in the UK at the University of - Bath. In 2019, I moved to Heidelberg in Germany to do my PhD finding open clusters in data from - the Gaia satellite. It was quite the adventure through the pandemic, but living abroad is tons of - fun. + I'm an astronomer and science communicator from the UK. Since completing my undergraduate degree + in Bath in the UK in 2019, my career has taken me across Europe - doing my PhD in Heidelberg, + Germany, and since 2025 working as a postdoc at the University of Vienna in Austria.

- I am fiercely passionate about improving inclusivity & equality in science for all. To quote the - charity Pride in STEM, “Science does not happen in a vacuum.” The environment in which we conduct - research can have a profound effect on the wellbeing of minority groups. It is essential that - science is a welcoming place, so that all minds can flourish and achieve their best. + I've always thought that effectively communicating science is as important as doing science + itself. Throughout my PhD, I built a small online following by communicating my science on + Twitter. When Twitter was effectively ruined for outreach, I turned my attention to building a new + astronomy community on Bluesky. The Astrosky Ecosystem now includes + over two thousand astronomers and astronomy organizations, and is working towards becoming a permanent + home for astronomy outreach and communication online.
