      My primary role as a Science Intern is to support the head scientist in producing reports and scientific output for a variety of projects. This involves data analysis, reviewing academic literature and compiling the reports. I have recently completed a preliminary report outlining the findings of reef surveys conducted in Cambodia. The report highlighted suitable locations for the implementation of multiple-use Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). In addition I have researched and compiled information for funding grant proposals, which are crucial to ensure the projects can continue. Further to this I have been involved with updating and maintaining the website, writing blogs and volunteer information pages. Show less

      As a Trainee Ranger I assist the rangers in completing the objectives of their habitat management plans for a range of grassland and woodland sites. This commonly involves the thinning of woodland areas, invasive species removal, the construction of fences and gates, scrub clearance and cattle grazing. As part of the training I have completed the NPTC CS30 and CS31 chainsaw qualification. In addition as part of the role, I work closely with weekly volunteer groups ensuring they are comforatable with the days tasks and that health and safety standards are maintained. Show less
