I have always been fascinated by wildlife conservation and the difference nature can make to our lives and in 2016 I completed a Biology MSci Hons degree at The University of Nottingham. Since completing my degree, I have spent time working in different educational settings and for various charitable organisations including the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) and the Earth Trust. I am particularly passionate about raising awareness and understanding of local and global conservation issues, inspiring and empowering people from all walks of life to make a positive difference for nature and ensuring learning is inclusive, fun and accessible to all.

Prior to joining ICCS in October 2023 as a Project Assistant supporting the Nature Positive Universities and Conservation Optimism initiatives, I was working within Outreach and Student Recruitment for the University of Gloucestershire, helping to inspire young people to consider higher education as an option.
