ABOUT ME

I'm an environmental psychologist currently writing up my PhD Thesis. My research investigated the environmental behaviour of visitors to the Brecon Beacons National Park and I also developed interventions to try and encourage more pro-environmental behaviours from visitors.
During my PhD I developed a passion for science communication, winning awards for my presentations and posters. I am currently looking for a science communication role in the conservation sector.
