Originally from Sheffield, I began working at the Royal Society of Chemistry as a Publishing Editor in 2014 after completing an MChem and a PhD (in Materials Chemistry) at Durham University, working mainly on our Materials journals and on several Faraday Discussions. In 2021 I moved to a role focusing on journals production.
