I thought I would just share a blog article I wrote when I worked as an Engagement Officer for the North Wales Wildlife Trust last year, it features some lovely prose inspired by the creative writing walk I led through one of the trust's reserves:
I am a volunteer of one of the Wildlife Trust branches' local action youth forum, and in 2023, I worked as an Education and Community Engagement Officer for one of their local nature reserves, as part of a paid internship. I love wildlife and am deeply interested in helping people connect to nature for conservation and well-being. I seek a future role in the conservation and wildlife sector, and as grant writing is a vital skill for this sector, I decided to sign up to WildTeam for their Grant Writing for Wildlife Conservation course. I enjoyed the course so much that I am continuing with WildTeam's courses, having now taken their Project Planning, Stakeholder Engagement, and Project Management courses, and am now taking the free Launching Your Career in Wildlife Conservation course. I'm really excited about these new upcoming courses, especially the Facilitation course!
I have an MSc Research degree in Biological Sciences at Bangor University, where I researched variation in the vertebral column of rhesus macaques using counts and geometric morphometrics. I also have a BSc Hons in Zoology with Animal Behaviour. I love primates, my favourite being lemurs, and I hope to see them someday in Madagascar.
I also love writing and hope to publish a novel one day. My preferred writing genres are fantasy and sci-fi (with a little nature thrown in, too). I have had two nature non-fiction articles published in the North Wales Wildlife Trust's 2025 Membership Magazines and was credited as a proofreader in the Summer 2025 edition. I have also written educational blogs during my time as an Educational and Community Engagement Officer
