As a Carbon Literacy Trainer, my key responsibilities are to prepare and learn taught material, convey concepts of climate change across to a wide audience range and to facilitate discussions with participants. Time management skills are essential for this role.

After excelling in my first internship, ZSL invited me back for the following year. I was responsible for collating and managing data for a research project. This was contributing towards a forthcoming publication on conducting a global climate change vulnerability analysis for reptiles. I learnt advanced skills in data manipulation of large datasets and spatial analyses in RStudio. This further developed my skills in R coding, synthesis of literature and managing large datasets.

During my first placement, I was responsible for producing cephalopod distribution maps for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species on QGIS and ArcGIS Pro. This was followed by a two day workshop of how to assess the extinction risk of species following the IUCN Red List criteria.
