About

A trained science teacher alongside experience of volunteer management and outreach communication, I am a skilled presenter and have taught groups of students both in urban classroom environments and in remote field locations. Having run a successful research project in Madagascar, I am seeking to take all I have learnt from my diverse work history and work in a dynamic role that offers exciting challenges where no two days are the same.
