I completed a BSc in Biology (Minor in Chemistry with Distinction) at the College of the Bahamas in 2012 and went on to complete a Masters by Research in Immunobiology at Newcastle University in 2014.
I completed my PhD in Molecular Biochemistry in the lab of Professor Derek Mann at Newcastle University. My project involved understanding the structural basis of the interaction between NF-κB subunit p50 and Histone Deacetylase 1 and how this interaction mediates the inflammatory response.
In my current role I am a molecular biologist in Professor Jonathan Higgins' Lab working to understand the kinases responsible for and the role of phosphorylation events in mitosis alongside developing a method to identify kinases responsible for known important sites of phosphorylation.

In my role as a Research Associate I have supervised a number of BSc final year student projects.
