​Professor Brian Cox called me his "scientific peer" after I called him arrogant and wrote this review about his science roadshow. 

​This pretty much made my day.

​No topic is too complex or bizarre, but here are my specialisms

I am passionate about science. With degrees in physics and astrophysics, these topics hold a special place in my heart. I have recently written about additive manufacturing, lasers, supercomputing, optics, and modelling and simulation software. 
​Working as a female freelancer, I have written extensively about the benefits, pitfalls and nuances of self employment, and the reality of life for women in technology​. I also seem to be writing an awful lot about coworking at the moment.

I worked in software development for more than five years, while continuing with my freelance writing work. During this time I used a range of technologies, coding languages and practices. I've recently written about  cloud computing, web testing, UX design and IT services​. 

My development work also gave me a valuable insight into the world of technology and how it can aid a business. Within business and technology, I have written about: artificial intelligence, cyber security, the IoT and Industry 4.0. 

I also love tackling new topics, so if you've got an idea for something we could work on together, please contact me.

About Me

​​I began my writing career at Cambridge University for the institution's science and technology magazine, Bluesci. I now have more than 10 years' experience in science and technology writing and am based in Cambridgeshire. 

I have two Masters degrees in Physics, one from York University and the other from Cambridge University.  I have worked as a journalist, software developer, research scientist and marketing executive for a range of innovative software companies, publishing houses and blue chip company Reuters. 

I also appeared on the cult Channel 4 game show 'Countdown' and managed to win one of the show's elusive teapots.
