Hardworking and flexible graduate, 2.1 BSc (Hons) in Marine and Freshwater Biology from Aberystwyth University 2018. Possessing excellent communication and organisation skills. Eager to work within a laboratory or conservation.
I am a qualified PADI Dive Master, I have recently passed my medical exam and renewed my first aid certificate. I took up diving in Thailand whilst volunteering wit Core Sea, and continued to progress when I returned to the UK. I volunteered at Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife centre, where I have taken on multiple tasks, surveying on the harbour or the boat trips for dolphins, whales and porpoises. Here I also got involved in beach cleaning, I have continued with litter picking at Formby alongside the National Trust as a volunteer.
I undertook modules within my degree which focused on all aspects of conservation which I was interested in. I have been on many field trips and taking the results back to analyse within the laboratory. I acquired a distinction in Horse Management (Level 3 Extended Diploma), then achieved a foundation degree in Life Sciences. Showing a have broad spectrum of experience and have covered diverse subjects and enjoyed the variety. I have a close family connection to a working farm where I help with lambing and general maintenance of the farm. I have been continually involved with the horses at Mary Bowlers riding school in Formby since I was 10.

I have been brought up and lived in a conservation area run by National Trust and Wildlife Trust. Which instilled a passion for nature, the outdoors and conservation.
I have been helping and then employed at 13 to 16 at weekends and holidays at Mary Bowlers Riding School, and still go regularly to assist friends and help out when needed.
Age 16 to 18 I volunteered at Horse of Year Show (HOYS) and Bolesworth International Horse Show and participated in a team building course in Ireland.
When at Aberystwyth University I volunteered again at Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre having already volunteered here whilst studying at college. I also took on multiple field trips during my degree, most recently at Faro, Portugal and Dubh Loch, Scotland for my final year, where I identified macroinvertebrate to their closest taxonomic level.
I have volunteered for Aberystwyth Conservation society through university, where a team of us maintained overgrowing trees and shrubs as well as weeding fields for cattle. These allowing me to be able to use most tools and equipment if required.
