Biography

I am a Chartered Marine Scientist with extensive experience spanning academia, the offshore industry, and the charity sector. Since 2016, I have been involved in aquatic habitat conservation, restoration, and climate resilience initiatives, with a primary focus on the Thames Estuary. In addition to my professional work, I lead ecology-focused stand up paddleboarding (SUP) sessions, combining natural history education with engaging outdoor activities. Currently, I am a research student at the London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership programme.
