About Me
I was born in Oxford, England and grew up in Devon and Cornwall, attending Plymouth High School for Girls for GCSE and A-Level. I then worked in accountancy and finance for several years, until attending a talk on astronomy in Tolkien prompted me to trade counting pounds for counting photons.
