Hi, I'm a project manager currently working in the tech industry, but I'd like to use my PM skills for conservation instead, a subject very close to my heart.
Rewilding, sustainability and consumerism's affect on the planet are my biggest concerns.
I'm originally from London UK and still live in the South of England. I'm mid-career, and would like to switch careers from tech into conservation in some way so that I can have a career that more aligns with my values and concern for the environment, and take an active role.
I have no formal qualifications in conservation and felt that doing the Wild Team project management course would align with my current skills and can introduce me into the world of conservation.
My favourite animals are wolves, tigers, elephants, birds, and fruit bats! But I love all animals and their preservation and protection is very important to me.
I think ultimately I see myself monitoring wildlife and rewilding environments, working in the great outdoors. Let's see!
