My main goal is to pursue a career in wildlife veterinary medicine and conservation, by possibly completing trainings, a complementary MSc in wildlife health management and PhD on elephants-human coexistence HEC. Thanks to numerous experiences in this domain, I could sharpen my clinical and field practice. I worked as a volunteer (Veterinary and wildlife volunteer) in 3 rescue centers as well as did my internships in two national Zoos (Budapest and Malaysia), which straightened my passion for wildlife and exotic veterinary medicine. I also pursued my thesis work on benthic sharks with the aquarium of the Budapest Zoo empowering my knowledges in marine biology. I am a member of the European Association of Zoo and Wildlife Veterinarians, of the Wildlife Disease Association and of the European Young Rewilders.

I'm an ecologist and environmental manager who has worked within The Wildlife Trust federation for nearly all of my 35 year career - as a volunteer, trustee and paid member of staff, and in conservation, education, communication, business development, policy and leadership roles in variious parts of the UK.  This included 8 years running campaigns and public policy work at the Scottish WT and 10 years as CEO of Sheffield WT.  I have been in The Wildlife Trusts' central team at RSWT since 2011 and led the development of The Wildlife Trusts' collective strategy from 2013 to 2020.  As Head of Science & Research, I now have responsibility for developing the federation's collective thinking on and understanding of a wide spectrum of issues of long term significance to the federation, and developing relationships with academics and expert researchers to address them.  I'm currently helping the Data, Research & Evidence Community of Practice to develop and implement a federation-wide framework intended to strengthen how Wildlife Trusts work together on generating, sharing and using data and evidence more effectively, prioritising our research and evidence needs and working together and with others to commission and deliver research that addresses them.
