About Christopher Johnston

I have been working as a self-employed artist and musician since 2010 and am now studying marine biology with the aim of moving into the industry since the oceans and conservation have been a life-long passion.  

I found out about WildHub through the webinar on starting a conservation organisation. I am hoping to learn more from my time here and to meet new people.


Marine Biology
I am currently studying for a Diploma in marine biology and have just gained a PGCert qualification in GIS.  I'm getting involved in voluntary work to gain experience, knowledge, practical skills and to make a difference where I can.

Through my music and art work I also have experience in social media, communications and have been involved in numerous local festivals and organising community and charity events.
