Entrepreneurship

For impactful communication and commercialisation of science

Founder of a social enterprise and leading entrepreneurship development programmes

In 2018 I founded She Speaks Science to build a positive STEM idenity among the youth and promote women scientists. Supported by University of Cambridge and the International Astronomical Union, She Speaks Science has grown into a global enterprise across 130+ countries. Our storytellers write about their STEM research in the monthly publication, Scheherazade, offered in five languages. PENTA is our unique mentorship programme for women and girls. We also run fun and engaging storytelling workshops at schools.

I'm committed not only to the communication of science but also to its commercialisation so that we bring its benefits to those who need it.

At Cambridge Judge Business School Entrepreneurship Centre I lead EnterpriseTECH, a programme that provides impactful entrepreneurial opportunities for academics to thrive beyond the lab.
