I am interested in the interactions between climate and biology across all spatial and temporal scales. In particular, I want to explore the use of deep-time records to anticipate the biotic impacts of anthropogenic climate change.
In 2018 I completed a Master’s degree in Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford, with a project investigating ecological selectivity during Oceanic Anoxic Events.
In 2017 I spent 3 months at the University of Heidelberg, undertaking an internship as a research assist on a palaeoceanography project. I have also completed an internship, in 2018, at the Oxford University of Natural History (OUMNH), cataloguing geological collections.
I was employed as a tutor for 5-16 year olds prior to starting my DPhil.
Alongside my academic work, I am passionate about public engagement in research. I have volunteered at the university’s Museum of Natural History for over 3 years, and the Black Country UNESCO Geopark Project for over 12 months. In both organisations I have been involved in producing educational material for a breadth of age groups, and directly engaged with members of the public through numerous events.
