I am a PhD candidate researching the ecosystem services provided by seaweed aquaculture. This is a CDT SuMMeR studentship run jointly through the MBA and the University of Plymouth. The project aims to bridge the gap between pure and applied science encouraging a transdisciplinary way of working. I am a member of the BEECH working group as well as the MBA dive team. I recieved my BSc in Biological Sciences and MSc in Conservation and Biodiversity from the University of Exeter.
