Extra-curricular interests

Katy is currently completing her Master’s project, developing a human skin model of cutaneous fibrosis.

Outside the lab, she can be found playing netball for her university team or with her nose in a good book. Despite self-confessed limitations in painting, Katy constantly seeks to challenge these by attempting a watercolour every week. There remains much room for improvement.

Always up for a new adventure, traveling is another passion for Katy, and she has spent the last two summers immersing herself in the vibrant cultures of mainland China and Hong Kong. It is here that she has further developed her love of hiking!

Availability

Katy is available primarily for online tuition.

She is, however, available for occasional in-person tuition in London and Oxford.
