During my time at Cardiff University, I have held a teaching-focussed position primarily within the geography team, though I have contributed across geography and geosciences programmes. I have led teams on key modules, including introductory courses and advanced studies in environmental management and consultancy, coastal and fluvial processes, environmental hazards, geomorphology, I have consistently delivered high-quality instruction both in-class and in the field. Notably, modules under my leadership have achieved exceptional student satisfaction ratings, resulting in multiple nominations for most engaging and uplifting staff member by the students’ union over multiple years. Most recently, I was nominated for ‘Most Impactful and Outstanding Use of Assessment as Learning’ for my assessment which taught students to apply their knowledge to technical and non-technical industry style reports surrounding environmental valuation and environmental impact assessments. In this role I have demonstrated remarkable adaptability, successfully developing a new statistics module within a short timeframe and swiftly transitioned to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining excellence in student feedback for my courses. I have also supervised over twenty excellent dissertation students, several of whom have gone on to PhD research or now themselves work in environmental management or consultancy.

I successfully defended my PhD in June 2022, which culminated in three published papers fully or partially derived from my research findings, with a fourth manuscript submitted. Titled 'Methodological Approaches to Reconstructing Storms, Relative Sea-Level Change, and Coastal Evolution in the Mid- and Late-Holocene,' my research focused on the reconstruction of coastal morphology, sea level fluctuations, and storm surges. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, I combined sedimentary and historic archives with geophysics, remote sensing and GIS analysis to help improve understanding of coastal flood risk and management in the context of a changing climate. My work has evolved to develop an integrated toolset for correlating past hydrodynamic conditions with morphological changes on decadal timescales. During my research I demonstrated adept project management skills in designing complex research initiatives involving collaborations across academics at my own level and above.

For the first term (Sept-Dec 2013) I undertook several taught modules including Environmental Law, Issues in Sustainability, Integrated.

Bachelor Of Science (B.Sc.), Geography, 1St Class

My degree was largely physical geography orientated. My studies ranged through a variety of geomorphologial environments, in particular.
