I joined UEA as an undergradutate in 2015, initially to read Chemistry, however soon thereafter found a keen interest in Environmental Science. I transferred my degree course to Natural Sciences, during my second year, to provide myself greater opportunities to study in this field.

I gratuated with a First Class (Hons) Master's Degree from UEA in 2019, and subsequently joined the School of Environmental Sciences as a research assistant to continue the work undertaken during my Master's Degree. This short term post was subsequently extended to a period of 15 months expanding upon my previous research and leading to the creation of new and ongoing projects such as the VALCRUM and PANEZA projects. During this time I was also given the opportunity to work part time at an industrial partner - GreenWorld Sales, and was placed in charge of the research efforts of the company.

I began my PhD in October of 2020, entitled 'Carbon Capture for Soil Ecosystem Service Enhancement', following through some of my previous work as an RA and expanding this into a more multidiciplinary approach. My research includes aspects of Soil Science, Environmental Economics and Ecosystem Service function and provision, in efforts to provide insight into the value of soils for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
