I am based in Beijing and head up the Newton Fund in China, supporting science and innovation partnerships to promote economic development and social welfare. In my time at the Embassy I have also worked in the visa section and UKTI. I am a vegetarian runner, have a degree in geophysics, and in my younger days I used to be a children’s fitness instructor in Tokyo.
