I’ve always
had a strong attraction to the happenings of the world around us. As such, I
completed my BSc (Hons) in Geography before completing my MSc in Environmental
Engineering. I now work as a Geo-Environmental Consultant for McCloy
Consulting, where I work on a wide variety of projects such as contaminated
land risk assessments and remediation, bog remediation/restoration, and
hydrogeological assessments. Outside of
this, I conduct seasonal breeding bird surveys as part of the Environmental
Farming Scheme with the aim of encouraging environmentally beneficial farming
practices across NI; and, volunteer for the Copeland Bird Observatory, where I
am involved in ongoing conservation projects. From 30U30,
it gives me an opportunity to meet new people and to learn how we can all
utilise more sustainable practices in our daily lives.
