Volunteer Administrative Assistant

Jul 2018 - Aug 2018
I volunteered as an administrative assistant tasked with general administration duties, data collection and input, English to French translations, research, and editing film subtitles. I was able to learn about global environmental crime and how investigations and exposure of this type of crime is conducted. This experience led me to focus on global environmental crime within my current Masters. From this, I will be investigating environmental crime in my dissertation over the Spring and Summer.

President of Fossil Free UoB

Sep 2016 - Jun 2017
I was part of Fossil Free since its inception in 2014, graduating to Secretary in 2015 and President in 2016. Fossil Free is part of a national movement to pressure institutions, communities and governments to divest from fossil fuel companies. This was my most fundamental extracurricular position at UoB in which I played managed the group, working closely with the research, events, social media and outreach team, all the whilst building ties with the University for future negotiations. Having eventually secured approval from the Finance Department at UoB, the latter committed to a comprehensive divestment of fossil fuel company investments in March 2017; a conversation that continues to include Fossil Free in the coming years of change.

Between my second and third year at University, I was able to put my critical thinking and research skills to use in an independent research project on the extent of forest degradation and deforestation in Kenya, whilst reporting weekly to the head of the Africa Forestry team. This culminated in a final research document and presentation to The Nature Conservancy which subsequently advanced their research into sustainable wood stoves.
