I am an experienced ecologist project manager with a strong field background and personal class licenses for bats, dormice, and barn owls. I hold ACIEEM accreditation and a first-class Master’s degree with honours in Conservation Biology and Ecology. Currently, I work for a consultancy in Cornwall, covering the South West, where I conduct surveys on all protected species and invasive non-native species (INNS).I am proficient in writing comprehensive ecological reports, protected species reports, impact assessments, and mitigation statements. My identification skills encompass botany and phase 1 habitat assessments and the newer UKHab. I am competent using QGIS & QField and the use of acoustic software such as Analook and Insight. Additionally, I hold a CSCS card for site work and am experienced in delivering on-site toolbox talks and serving as an Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW). I also have licenses for protected species and have acted as a named agent on badger licenses.
