My journey into science so far
Science Writer
As a scientific writer, I use my expertise in cell and gene therapy to accurately summarize and simplify scientific stories that highlight MaxCyte’s electroporation technology. I create marketing materials that are approachable and engaging

2015 - 2021
PhD
During my PhD, I was interested in a virus called Reovirus. We don’t really understand why Reovirus can kill some cancers and not others. My PhD project investigated interactions occurring between Reovirus and cells (healthy, cancerous and stem cells) to find answers to this important question
Masters
During my Masters I designed and engineered a new virus to treat Hepatitis C. Technically, I genetically engineered an adeno-associated viral vector to carry polycistronic microRNA cassettes that interfered with Hepatitis C replication. All you need to know is the virus worked and I got my degree
2013 - 2014
2009 - 2012
Bachelor of Science
I completed my Bachelor of Science in 2011 and moved into the Molecular Medicine program to complete my Honours year
