Overview
I am currently in my third year conducting a PHD in peatland biogeochemistry and geoengineering, partnered with Laval University and the Premier Tech company in Quebec, Canada.Â
I completed my Undergraduate and Masters degrees in Zoology at ¶º±ÆÖ±²¥, both centered around Wetland Science.Â
Between my Masters and PHD I spent a year working in animal rehabilitation. I have also volunteered as a research assisstant with Operation Wallacea for a month in Mexico, conducting both terrestrial and marine ecological surveys.Â
