About me

I grew up in north-west Kent and spent much of my formative years chasing birds and other wildlife around the county. This grounding in general natural history (and bird identification in particular) eventually resulted in me working as an ecological consultant for the majority of the eight or so years following my first degree.

Having worked in the corporate environmental sector for so long, and experiencing all of the benefits and disadvantages that went with it, I decided to enrol on a full-time Conservation Science MSc program in autumn 2010. The course reignited my interests in applied conservation and research and ultimately paved the way for the next three years... 

I'm now a third year PhD student at the University of East Anglia, working within the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation. My main research interests include the study of bird migration, assessing the impacts of habitat and climate change upon migratory bird species, and the use of such research in the development of evidence-based conservation interventions.
