I am dedicated to advancing shark science and conservation through my role in Outreach and Engagement at The Shark Trust. My work is aimed at making shark science and conservation accessible to everyone!

I'm a graduate of MSc Marine Conservation from the University of Plymouth (2021/22). My research focused on utilising Blue Social Prescribing to enhance accessibility to the marine environment for individuals impacted by their mental health and/or poverty. I explored the subsequent impact on pro-ocean behaviour, emphasising the crucial intersection of environmental and mental wellbeing.

Beyond my conservation pursuits, I bring a wealth of experience as a Qualified Mental Health Nurse, Phlebotomist, and Suicide Prevention Trainer. My professional journey includes roles as a Band 5 Nurse in Secure Services (forensics), Adult Acute, Psychiatric Intensive Care, a Clozapine Phlebotomy Clinic, and Perinatal Mental Health Services. And as a Clinical Team Leader (Band 6) in Rehabilitation Services for adults experiencing psychosis.
