I stumbled across wildhub while deep diving the internet for career development courses and advice. My dream is to work educating and communicating environmental issues on wildlife expeditions around the world. That’s well in the future so right now I’m a membership fundraiser for the RSPB. This job is what sparked the passion for getting people to care about conservation and the planet. I’m now looking for communications or educator roles to develop my relevant skills and build experience.
Meanwhile, I am studying MSc wildlife biology and conservation. Luckily, it’s a distance learning course with Edinburgh Napier so I get to carry on building my career while learning about what I love.
A lot of my time goes into my passion project, my Instagram account and blog @amyinthewild_ where I try to develop my communications skills by creating fun little educational posts, then write more in depth posts on my blog.
I’m still learning wildhub and if I’m completely honest I’m not sure how best to use it yet but if anybody has any tips and advice I’d love to hear it!
Introducing myself
Hi, I’ve recently joined wildhub and while getting to grips with it, it’s been suggested I do an introduction post. So here I am!

I'm an early career conservation educator/ communicator. I currently work face to face, teaching the public in Cornwall all about the RSPB's incredible work, inspiring them to join the charity as members. In my free time, I take that passionate voice online, through my instagram @amyinthewild_. Wildhub seems like a great opportunity to reach likeminded people and learn from the experts in this field.
