I studied environmental science at a masters level, looking at remediation of polluted land, and sustainable agriculture to reduce carbon emissions. I now work on the east coast as a funding officer for Coastal Partnership East. I work predominantly on the capital programme for East Suffolk Council, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, and North Norfolk District Council, as well as on adaptive funding and finance mechanisms with the Resilient Coasts project - one of the Environment Agency's 25 projects in the Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme.
