I was recently profiled by the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences as part of their Maths Can Take You Anywhere showcase, which features 23 mathematicians across the UK. The initiative celebrates the many different facets that a career in the mathematical sciences can take, from academia and industry to policy and beyond.
My own journey has involved working modelling passenger flow at Edinburgh Airport, developing product sales analysis tools during my PhD, and co-founding the Piscopia Initiative to support women and non-binary people in mathematics. In this profile, my goal was to highlight the versatility of statistics, the excitement of real-world problem solving, and the importance of diversity in shaping the future of research and innovation.
