I’m a science writer and editor based in Edinburgh with a strong theoretical physics background and an MSc in Science Communication from the University of Edinburgh. I translate complex physics, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology into clear, compelling content for digital, print, and video audiences. For the past several years I’ve led research-driven content strategy and publication workflows, including SEO and analytics that helped grow a Quantics blog by 300%. I also contribute to video storytelling—writing and scripting science for PBS Space Time—and I use AI-assisted workflows to improve turnaround times while keeping technical accuracy and clear communication front and centre.
