Profile

I have a background in environmental science, with experience teaching across the fields of geography and ecology. I joined the School of Biology in 2026 following teaching roles in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds and York St John University, and postdoctoral research positions at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Birmingham. My teaching now focuses primarily on ecology and conservation, and has previously spanned topics including climate change and geomorphology, with a particular focus on developing students’ skills in fieldwork, GIS, earth observation and statistical analysis. My research interests focus on glaciology and the impacts of contemporary deglaciation on downstream hydrology, ecology and communities.
