Much of my role includes organising, planning and delivering events and outreach activities. This includes a number of regular annual events, such as work experience programmes, BioBlitz events and open laboratory days. I also develop and run citizen science projects such as Crab Watch and Marine invaders. I use a range of skills to schedule, develop and promote these activities safely, effectively and within budget.
I am always looking for new ways to bring people in to the world of marine biological science and share how important and amazing it is.
I love working collaboratively with creative people as well as other scientific disciplines to explore different ways to approach challenges and ways to engage new audiences through events, projects and resources and am particularly excited by the potential for citizen science to increase participation in and support for science.
