I am a Developmental Biologist with a background in understanding the intersection of biology and physics in generating diverse biological shapes.

I earned a BSc in Natural Sciences from UCL and my PhD at the University of Cambridge with Ben Steventon investigating early embryo head-to-tail elongation in zebrafish embryos. My recent postdoc work uncovered differences in tissue mechanics that lead to the divergence of embryonic brain and spinal cord shape under fluid pressure.

I graduated with an MPhil in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge in 2023, where I studied the mechanisms of SNX9 in cell motility of PI3K-driven breast cancer cells under the guidance of Dr. Jenny Gallop.

Currently, I am working as a research assistant supporting Dr. Susie McLaren in investigating the formation of coral-plankton symbiosis during coral morphogenesis, with the goal of aiding ecosystem recovery.
