I have been a biology teacher for the past eight years and I am transitioning from teaching to the Ecology and Conservation field. 

Hi! I am Hope and I am a masters student studying MSc Marine Conservation at the University of Aberdeen. I am always looking out for ways to gain professional skills as I leave university and start my career in conservation. I am mostly interested in marine mammal conservation but with a passion for all things nature and biology related.

I am an MPhil student at the University of Oxford interested in small-scale fishery in freshwater ecosystems and conservation governance, in which natural resource use is interconnected with local livelihood. I have experience in conducting research, presenting ideas, developing scientific papers, and writing a book.

I'm currently a MSc Student at the University of Exeter Cornwall studying Conservation & Biodiversity. I studied at the University of Kent for 3 years where I completed my undergraduate degree in Wildlife Conservation. My hobbies include photography, exploring new places, and interior design. I love learning and expanding my knowledge of the conservation world! This is something I've always been passionate about and hope to continue as a career. 

To obtain a challenging position in a reputable organization in order to expand my skills and knowledge, and secure a responsible career opportunity in which I can utilize my education and skills while making a significant contribution to the company's success.

I coordinate citizen science networks established among small-scale fishers, and shark and ray data collectors in fish landing sites. My insight on sharks and rays supports targeted conservation, outreach, and policy initiatives. I also train and mentors WCS citizen scientists and support community engagement and policy recommendations to protect threatened marine megafauna and promote sustainable fisheries in Bangladesh. 

I am a Biologist specializing in Wildlife Rehabilitation and Enrichment for Zoo Animals. I have  keen interest in Carnivore Biology (Wild Felines, Meso-predators & Birds of Prey) & Marine Mammals Conservation

I help run a UK charity that builds the capacity of conservationists to plan, implement, monitor, and report on their work. I also have a fair bit of experience in tiger and sea turtle conservation.

My career started as a volunteer diving with Coral Cay Conservation in Fiji, which got me hooked to become a marine biologist. Currently, I'm working as a marine scientist for an environmental consultancy (5OES) based in Oman, which I've done for the past 14 years. My work encompasses marine environmental monitoring, baseline surveys, conservation and research projects plus training. I studied for my BSc in marine and freshwater biology at Aberystwyth University and then an MSc in marine environmental protection at Bangor University, UK. In between working for 5OES I have also worked with the Dept. of Environment, Cayman Islands Government as a field research assistant. I'm a PADI Assistant Instructor as well as an AMSO Instructor (https://www.amso.ae/) My interests include sea turtle conservation & rehab, cetacean research & rescue, coral monitoring & research, plus outreach & education. I love travelling and have had the fortune to work in the Caribbean, UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Fiji where I've met some wonderful people in the field. 

I have 15 years experience in team leadership and management of award winning Non-Profit organisations for both People and Planet working along side some of the worlds most influential community and biodiversity conservation driven philanthropists and leaders. I have extensive and diverse knowledge in the international development sector as an established leader in project management, governance and compliance, monitoring, evaluation, strategy mapping and policy development.
