Hello 👋 I'm a zoologist and children's book writer based in lovely London.

I write books for children about animals and am very excited about some really neat ones I've written being published soon by Nosy Crow and Walker books! You can see others I have written in the Books section, or whizz on over to my Amazon author page. 

I completed my PhD at Cambridge University before working as a science communicator at the Natural History Museum London, as well as a journalist and researcher for the BBC.

In terms of sciencey stuff, I've recently worked at University College London (where I occasionally lecture) and the Zoological Society of London. I sit on the council of the Systematics Association, have studied extinct mammals, sensory systems, and have thought about lizards a lot.

I'm represented by Veronique Baxter of David Higham.  You can get in touch with me directly on the contacts page.
