I am a research student in the School of Applied Sciences at Edinburgh Napier University (ENU). My project is funded by SNH, MASTS and ENU. Previously I studied an MSc in Land Reclamation and Restoration at Cranfield University (2013-2015) where I conducted projects funded by Celtic Energy Ltd and The Coal Authority. I also have a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science from the University of Stirling (2008-2012). My research interests are broad. I have a fascination with ecosystem dynamics, in particular carbon sequestration and how habitats adapt to stress.
