Biography
Biography
I deliver project management on behalf of academic staff involved in the Marine Institute, while still providing ongoing project management of the FISH INTEL project, an international partnership aimed at influencing fisheries management across the English Channel, supported by the ERDF via the EU Interreg FCE programme.
I previously worked as a Project Assistant with the University of Exeter, before becoming a technician at South West Water (GIS & water quality testing). I returned to the University in 2018, working as Technician, and later as Senior Technician, in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences until 2022. As part of this role, I participated in the ERDF-funded ReCon Soil project, run by the Sustainable Earth Institute, and provided technical support to many other projects prior to that. I also provided key support to the C-SIDE project, a NERC-funded national partnership investigating carbon storage in saltmarsh habitats, as research technician in the radionuclide facility CoRIF between 2019 and 2023. I became qualified in Project Management (PRINCE2 Practitioner) in 2021.
