Biography: I grew up in Sheffield and completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester. In my third year, I worked as a Synthetic Chemistry Intern at Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, probing the synthesis of different cancer therapeutics, before returning to Manchester to obtain my MChem. In 2021, I joined the Procter group for my doctoral studies, exploring biocatalytic C-H bond functionalisation reactions. In my free time, I enjoy discovering new music, attending museums, and exploring Manchester's famous nightlife.
