My Work:
After graduating with an MSc in Disaster Management and a BSc in Geology & Geography. I started out my career in the Ministry of Defence, working mainly on nuclear projects. I then moved to Defra, as a Geography Evidence Adviser, where I promoted and advised on the use of geography across Government. I also managed Defra’s climate research programme. I subsequently undertook a 4year secondment, working an EU Cohesion Policy. In 2020, I returned to Defra’s Chief Scientific Adviser’s Office Futures team, where I lead on emergent, systematic, and extreme risk & resilience issues. I am a chartered geographer, and am active in my local Parish on green issues. I also run a Not-for-Profit organisation, delivering risk awareness resources to developing communities.

My Work:
In my work I am researching methods to create nano (very small!) platinum structures. These are used in fuel cells, which use hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity, to make reactions happen faster. This is important research because it allows us to create electricity without burning fossil fuels and can reduce the impact of climate change.

My Work:
As a Geographer working in video games, I pioneered the practice of “culturalization”, effectively helping game creators navigate complex cultural and geopolitical issues to maximize the global reach of their games. This focus includes the content in the game worlds themselves, as well as how that content may be perceived across various cultures.

As a lecturer in Economic Geography my work primarily involves teaching undergraduate and postgraduate geographers, as well as conducting research with a geographical theme. For me, this has mostly been about digital technology (what we academics might call ‘digital geographies’); work (‘labour geographies’) and the city (‘urban geographies’).
