I completed both my undergraduate degree and masters in Oceanography at the University of Southampton. Throughout this degree I gained a broad array of knowledge surrounding Ocean and Earth sciences. I conducted coastal and offshore fieldwork in many aspects of oceanography. As my knowledge developed my main interests began to surround marine biogeochemistry with a focus on carbonate chemistry.

I completed my PhD project, ocean pH and other biogeochemical
measurements in the coastal Amundsen Sea, Antarctica, at UEA. As part of my reseatch I participated in the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration project in early 2022 on board the icebreaker RV Nathaniel B Palmer. I measured pH in the water column by utilising a Seaglider, a type of autonomous underwater vehicle. Simultaneously I mounted a pH sensor to the ships' continuous seawater supply to collect data in various regions. I used these datasets to assess the main drivers of pH gradients in regions affected by seasonal phytoplankton blooms, changing sea ice concentrations and glacial meltwater.

I am currently a Senior Research Associate within the MaSCOt (Marine Sensors for Carbon Observations) project. I work with measurements from carbonate chemistry sensors on Seagliders that had been deployed in two different regions in the Southern Ocean. The purpose of my research is to develop Standard Operating Procedures to ensure the best use of these sensors paired with Seagliders in the future.
