I am a research technician working on the Leverhulme funded project investigating the evolutionary basis of lifespan and fecundity responses to dietary restriction using Drosophila.

I completed my BSc in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Edinburgh in 2018. My undergraduate research project with the Vale Lab focussed on the role of diet in mediating life-history responses following infection, using Drosophila.
