I’m originally from Durham and I completed my MChem at Somerville College, University of Oxford in 2020. My Master’s project, under the supervision of Prof. Angela Russell, involved the mechanistic study and one-pot synthesis of small molecules containing a novel fragment in medicinal chemistry. During my undergraduate degree, I designed and delivered an outreach project in local schools centred on the chemistry involved in baking. As part of my first year in the Synthesis for Biology and Medicine CDT, I will be doing a rotation in the Donohoe group investigating new methodologies to boost the potential of hydrogen borrowing catalysis. Outside of the lab, I enjoy baking, singing and horse-riding.
