I was a Presenter for three years delivering live talks, tours and activities to a wide range of audiences of all ages. I then additionally took on the role of Live Interpretation Developer where I would create engaging scripts for the presenter team (including myself) to deliver whilst working and building relationships with like-minded people across the organisation. I trained new staff, was point of contact when management were absent and conducted evaluations to ensure successful KPI’s. Both jobs allowed me to inspire and encourage others to share my passion for the natural world and its conservation.
