Hi! I am a recent graduate from Durham University where I studied Biology and specialised in ecology, evolution and genomics. I am fascinated with all things biodiversity and an avid wildlife recorder for a wide range of taxa. I have a great passion for public engagement and science communication, founding and acting as co-president of the Durham University Natural History Society during my last year at Durham. This year, I am saving up for my Masters at Kew and Queen Mary in Plant and Fungal Taxonomy, Diversity and Conservation, while trying to gain as much experience as I can. I have a few local projects that I am very excited to be getting involved with involving chalk streams, chalk and neutral grassland, public engagement and DNA barcoding. I look forward to gaining the skills and knowledge from this course to benefit my current and future work, as well as meeting others in the course and learning about their work :)

Over 7 years' experience in administration and accounting for private companies. New to NGO project management and execution.

I have been in the field of conservation for more than 8 years. After completing my bachelor's programme in Natural Resources Management, I joined the Consultoria de asesores Forestales S.A. de C.V. in Mexico focusing on the estimation of tree's biomass and volume for the sustainable use of forest product. I later furthered my studies and joined the Double Degree Master's Programme "ENREM" in Environmental Science at Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Mexico and Natural Resources Management & Development at TH Köln, Germany. My master's thesis focused on carbon sequestration in the soil. Currently, I am the Terrestrial Researcher at Belize Audubon Society. In the process of my professional growth, I have seen that Project Management has become very important not just in the business sector but also in conservation. The effective use of tools for the management of resources will assist in the overall efficiency from planning to reporting.

My interests are in finding ways to coexist peacefully with wildlife in shared environments and integrating conservation management with traditional practices. As a self-taught artist, I frequently include these ideas into my illustrations.
