What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply environmental research, policy analysis, biodiversity assessment, and GIS to climate resilience and environmental decision-making, while collaborating with technical specialists, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams.

I've supported environmental investigations and risk assessments at ERM, combining historical records, regulatory information, monitoring results, and spatial datasets to inform decisions. I communicate findings on contamination, environmental impacts, and risk-management options to clients and project teams.

I also helped develop a GIS-based biodiversity assessment tool at Joe’s Blooms by translating the DEFRA Biodiversity Metric into an accessible practitioner framework. My work spans climate resilience, biodiversity, environmental policy, stakeholder engagement, GIS, and scientific communication.
