What I do
I am a literary linguist, interested in narrative, memory and climate fiction. I am currently working on a project exploring how reading novels about the climate crisis can help young people cope with climate anxiety and make meaningful career choices in the context of an uncertain future.
With a background in media, I also work as a freelance digital producer specialising in science, history and arts projects that inspire audiences to find out more about their world. Recently I've worked on citizen science experiments, MOOCs, and collaborations with universities, charities, galleries, libraries and museums. ​I am keen to talk to anyone about projects both within and beyond academia that address the climate emergency.​​
