I’ve been a journalist since 2014, when I graduated from City University London with a distinction from the Science Journalism MA. Before that, I worked as a researcher for a journalist who was investigating climate change denial networks in the UK and US, and for a small org that specialised in making Freedom of Information requests to support environmental and transparency campaigners.
