Geography, Geology and the Environment

I have a very strong passion for conservation, the environment and raising awareness to students and the wider public through my work. It's my responsibility to design and deliver the science for sustainability workshops at schools and events across the county and further afield. My teaching includes the wide range of workshops we already deliver and specific workshops tailored to schools requirements.

Before working as the environmental education officer at Keele university I spent a year and a half as an education project officer at Chester Zoo. This entailed engaging families and getting them involved and pro active about the environment and ways they could make a difference from saving the rainforest, reducing their pollution and the illegal wildlife trade. I took two months out early in 2009 to research coral bleaching and the economic and social benefits of marine protected areas in Mauritius.

Many of the projects I have been involved in over the past four years in Africa have been centred around community and youth involvement.
