Responsibilities: I am responsible for developing and delivering conservation and education initiatives across the Geopark. This includes supporting habitat and species conservation projects, working with schools and community groups, developing educational programmes and resources, and helping people connect with the Geopark’s unique natural, geological and cultural heritage. A key part of my role is encouraging understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the landscape so that it can be enjoyed and protected for future generations.
Five words to describe myself: Curious, Observant, Practical, Thoughtful, and Approachable.
What is your favourite thing about working with the Geopark?
Growing up in the area, I think I was guilty of taking the landscape for granted. It was only after studying Earth and Ocean Science, living away, and working on peatland and conservation projects elsewhere that I realised just how special this place is. Coming back has given me a whole new appreciation for the Geopark, from its wildlife and habitats to the stories written into the landscape itself. What I enjoy most is being able to share that sense of appreciation with others and help people make their own connections to the places that make this area unique. Whether through conservation projects, education programmes, or simply spending time outdoors, it is rewarding to see people’s understanding of the landscape grow and to play a small part in helping protect it for future generations.
