about

I'm a British-Russian science journalist currently based in New York City

I hold a bachelor's in Human Sciences from University College London (UCL) and a research master's in Developmental Neuroscience from UCL and Yale University. 

I researched psychosis at both the UCL Divison of Psychiatry and the Yale School of Medicine, before realizing my passion for speaking to people, covering health issues firsthand and just a touch less job security.

I now enjoy tracking down stories about health inequalities, mental health systems and correctional healthcare.  In 2026, I completed my Science Writing master's at MIT.
