Before joining Imperial in 2019, I led sector training and schools outreach at Understanding Animal Research, supported youth programmes and STEM Ambassadors at Centre of the Cell in Queen Mary University of London and delivered education programmes across Oxford University’s Gardens, Libraries and Museums as a Heritage Lottery Fund Skills for the Future trainee. I graduated with honours in Anthropology from Bryn Mawr College and gained my MSc with merit in Forensic Anthropology at the University of Central Lancashire.
