Hello! 👋I'm a dedicated geoscientist driven by a deep passion for uncovering the Earth's history and a commitment to making a meaningful impact on the world. My journey began amidst the stunning landscapes of North Wales 🏞️, where a fascination with geology and biology sparked a lifelong pursuit in biostratigraphy—an essential field within the energy industry 🌍With years of experience as a laboratory technician and biostratigrapher, including nearly 300 offshore days in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico 🌊, I made the bold decision to become an independent geoscience subcontractor and entrepreneur. This move was inspired by a desire to offer more tailored, impactful services to the industry.My mission is to empower clients by delivering specialised geoscience solutions that save time, reduce costs, and ensure compliance, all while driving their projects to success.What I Do:At Labstrat, I provide expert geoscience subcontracting services, with a focus on wellsite operations as a laboratory technician and palaeontologist 🔬 My expertise covers micropalaeontology, nannopalaeontology, and both acid and non-acid palynology processing. I have an applied track record analysing and interpreting palynology and micropalaeontology data, particularly from the Pleistocene to Oligocene periods in the North Sea.Why I Do It:Throughout my career, I’ve seen how undervaluation of geoscience services can hinder progress and lead to missed opportunities. I'm passionate about changing this narrative by providing high-quality, impactful services that demonstrate the true value of geoscience in the energy sector.Qualifications:🎓 First-Class BSc in Palaeontology, University of Portsmouth🎓 Distinction-Class MRes in Palynology, University of Portsmouth🦠 Over 5 years of industry experience, including nearly 300 offshore days🛠️ Advanced skills in palynology, micropalaeontology, and data integration🌍 Hands-on experience with energy transition projectsOutside the Lab:You can find me exploring the great outdoors, taking on new projects, or spending quality time with family and friends 🌿 These activities keep me grounded and provide fresh perspectives that I bring to my professional work.Let’s Connect:I'm always excited to explore new opportunities and build connections.
