Every day I help people solve their indoor air quality problems caused by mould and water damage. I'm passionate about healthy buildings and environmental health. As a microbiologist, I see the relationship between people and their environment as a complex interplay between resource use and adaptation. In turn, the microbiome of the built environment is emerging as an important determinant of wellbeing.

 I can speak about a range of topics:

• mould/fungi
• indoor air quality
• building biology
• healthy homes
• water damage
• mycology 
• microbiology 
• microbiome 
• infection control 
• environmental health
• public health
• SARS-CoV-2
• COVID-19 infections
• biolabs/ bio-weapons
• Long covid

I'm a member of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA).
