About
As a marine biologist with interdisciplinary expertise spanning marine ecology, environmental education, and mixed-methods research, I'm passionate about fostering participatory approaches to address complex challenges. With experience leading citizen science initiatives, I aim to bridge the gap between communities and scientific inquiry to drive meaningful change.
I'm currently a researcher on the NERC-funded project "Resilient Coasts: Optimising Co-Benefit Solutions," and I investigate social-ecological coastal systems in the UK, focusing on participatory decision-making processes. By linking research and policy, leveraging systems thinking, and engaging stakeholders, I strives to develop sustainable, creative, and resilient coastal management practices that empower communities and optimize outcomes.
