Katie is a Laboratory Technician at Imperial College in London, specialising in Tissue Culture.
After ten years in the film industry, Katie wanted to return to her childhood passion: science. While studying with The Open University, she joined the Caribbean leg of the virtual eXXpedition voyage.
The experience of working with eXXpedition confirmed that she wanted a career in science. Katie qualified as a Lab Technician through an apprenticeship with Imperial College, where she now works full-time in the Department of Bioengineering.
Katie is engaged with lab sustainability initiatives and is an ambassador for My Green Lab – helping labs to reduce their environmental impact. Her career in film has made her an advocate for creating effective change through accessible storytelling and science-based research.
