Community-led biodiversity restoration, land use and citizen science are where my personal and professional interests overlap. As Director of people+science, I work on diverse projects, many of which sit at the interface between science and the public. I work in partnership with NGOs, science professionals, community members, and land managers. I draw on a broad set of skills including hands-on conservation, research, impact evaluation, governance, science communication and… fine arts. Although eclectic, together these form distinct, though overlapping lenses through which to interpret and understand our environment.
