I completed my undergraduate degree in 2016 with the University of Greenwich before starting working with the Galapagos Conservation Trust. During my time at GCT, I gained skills in grant fundraising, project management and communication skills, working with scientists in the UK and Galapagos. I then went on to complete a MSc in Conservation and Biodiversity at the University of Exeter in 2018/2019. I undertook my thesis project looking into the Age Determination of Channeled Whelks (Busycotypus Canaliculatus) using sclerochronology and stable isotopes. I worked with scientists from Exeter and the British Antarctic Survey, learning many skills including advanced data analysis. I have always had a love for animals since a young age, originally working with horses, then primates, then I fell in love with African wildlife and marine conservation. To me, protecting our wildlife and our planet is one of the most important challenges of today and I want to help make a change through project management, education and continued research. I am also a keen photographer and videographer with experience in communications and website design.
