Profile

As someone with a mixed arts and science background (a BA in English Literature from Cambridge, an MSc in Applied Ecology from UEA) I’m interested in research that connects the dots between subjective human experiences and the quantitatively measured biological communities that we live alongside. I’m particularly interested in what leads people to develop a connection with nature, how/whether that connection can benefit individuals and and how/whether it leads them to pro-environmental behaviours.

I’ve most recently been working in environmental education helping children experience nature first hand. I’m also a member of environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion and through them have organised a tree planting festival, done outreach and training work at events as well as door-to-door canvassing, and been involved in non-violent direct action in Norwich and London.
