In this talk, I’ll take you on a whistle-stop tour of my journey in 21-cm cosmology – from my PhD days in Cambridge to fellowship and research scientist positions in the USA and Canada. I’ll discuss the significance of 21-cm cosmology in understanding the Universe’s first billion years and describe key projects I’ve worked on, including the SKA , HERA, EDGES , and REACH . Along the way, I’ll share some personal highlights from my time in North America, including adventures in national parks and snow sports.
