I have worked
in the environmental charity sector for Ulster Wildlife and the Wildfowl and
Wetlands Trust for most of my career. A large part of my work has been
designing and delivering environmental education programmes for schools. I have
also worked on developing youth engagement with nature and schools community
relations. Prior to this I worked 10 years in the banking sector. I have a
degree in Geography (BA Hons) from the University of Reading and a teaching
qualification. In my spare time I love horse riding, countryside walks with our
dog and anything to do with nature.
