I hold a first-class degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford, an MPhil from Cambridge and a teaching degree from the University of Edinburgh. I have tutored at both undergraduate and postgraduate level across a wide range of subjects and written for national publications including the Guardian and the Independent.

I am a native English speaker from South Africa, and have studied master's degrees at both Oxford and Cambridge. I have studied engineering, economics as well as Chinese international relations. I am currently learning Mandarin.

I am currently studying for a PhD in Nanoscience at the University of Cambridge. My research aims to analyse new nanoparticulate samples by advanced metrological techniques, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). After University I hope to start my own company.
