About me

I’m an interdisciplinary researcher passionate about research culture change, research support, and researcher development. My current interests comprise research culture change initiatives centred on EDIA, systems change, and capacity building; feminist and decolonial perspectives on open research; and neurodivergent experiences in academia and education.

I recently completed my PhD in Clinical Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, which focused on investigating the use of evidence synthesis techniques to inform research improvement in laboratory neuroscience.

Currently, I am a Community Knowledge Analyst on the Wellcome Trust-funded InFrame project. I am also a collaborator of metatheory.space. From 2022-2025, I was Lead of the Edinburgh Open Research Initiative (EORI).

Outside of work, I am a creative writer, dabbling in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
