With a BSc in Environmental Geoscience from the University of Southampton and currently pursuing an MSc in Environmental Geology and Land Contamination at the University of Portsmouth, I am passionate about addressing pressing environmental challenges, especially those related to emerging contaminants like PFAS.🔬 Academic & Practical Experience: Throughout my undergraduate studies, I undertook projects that bridged theory with impactful, real-world applications:*Air Quality Analysis: Assessed the impact of 20mph speed limits on air quality in Cardiff, enhancing my data analysis and critical thinking skills.*Brownfield Redevelopment Planning: Designed a sustainable redevelopment plan for a hypothetical brownfield site, strengthening my environmental remediation and problem-solving abilities.*Flood Adaptation Review: Reviewed flood adaptation strategies for UK households, providing insights into climate resilience and community safety.💼 Professional Development: As an intern with the UK and Ireland Spill Association, I’m developing my stakeholder engagement, organisational, and communication skills. A significant achievement has been organising a two-day conference for over 70 spill response professionals. This experience refined my adaptability and teamwork, allowing me to unify diverse industry perspectives around common environmental objectives.🌐 Disaster Response & Humanitarian Efforts: My role as an International Disaster Responder with REACT Disaster Response has equipped me with essential resilience and crisis management skills through advanced training, including:*Level 3 International Operations Intensive 5-day residential course*Maritime and Coastguard Agency Beach Supervisor course*Multi-Agency Operational Training with the Wiltshire and Swindon Local Resilience ForumThese experiences allow me to apply critical thinking and collaboration skills under high-stakes conditions, preparing me to lead teams in complex environmental incident management, such as PFAS spills.🌱 Future Goals: My aspiration is to contribute innovative solutions to PFAS remediation and other environmental projects. If you're interested in connecting over shared goals in environmental response and remediation, I’d love to hear from you!
