Summary

Environmental Science graduate with a strong passion for wildlife conservation and environmental education, looking to begin a career within the conservation sector. I have been volunteering at a bird sanctuary, developing experience communicating with visitors about native wildlife and conservation issues while supporting a range of day-to-day tasks. I am a hardworking, adaptable individual with a proactive approach and a genuine enthusiasm for wildlife research and public engagement. I am due to begin a Master's degree in Applied Wildlife Conservation in January, further developing my knowledge and commitment to the field. I have extensive experience in hospitality which has increased my communication and customer service skills. Recently, I have also developed a strong interest in marine conservation through scuba diving, completing my PADI Advanced Open Water certification and 17 dives, which has strengthened my appreciation of marine ecosystems and the importance of their protection.
