During her career Kat has worked as an investigative researcher for The World Health Organization, and undertaken research in biological anthropology at Oxford. She has carried her scientific background over into her writing and broadcasting work, and is currently completing her first novel- a crime thriller with a forensic bent.

As a real all rounder, Kat also isn’t afraid to pick up a camera herself and get involved, having shot Z1 footage of South London gangs for BBC News. After taking a B. Sc in Clinical Sciences at Kings College London, her broadcasting career was kick started by receiving an Arts Council of England Bursary in 2006, and she has split her time between writing and developing television shows since.

During her Broadcasting career, Kat has reported for the BBC World Service and worked with the Panorama team, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Oxford and the BBC Radio World Science Unit.

Kat has more recently presented Science of Scams with Derren Brown on the Channel 4 Education web series. Please click on the link below to see Kat in action.
