I am a Natural Sciences student at UCL specialising in physical chemistry and physics. My first year Laidlaw research project was on the ionisation of pyrimidine. My second-year leadership in action project was working with Bite Back – a youth-led movement to create a healthier and fairer food system.
I am a student at Columbia University studying Political Science and Statistics. I am interested in the intersections between data, people, and the environment.
