Biography

I am a zooplankton ecologist with particular interests in zooplankton community ecology, the role of zooplankton in ecosystem processes and carbon cycling and the response of pelagic ecosystems to environmental change and anthropogenic influences.

I completed my PhD at BAS with the University of East Anglia, where my project focussed on investigating zooplankton diel vertical migration and the role this plays in oceanic carbon cycles.

Prior to this PhD, I competed my MRes at The University of Exeter, where I looked at the impacts of microplastic ingestion in the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis. Preceding my MRes, I graduated from the University of Exeter with a BSc (Hons.) degree in Biological Sciences.

Previously, I have worked within governmental organisations to help implement and shape policies aiming to increase biodiversity both in the UK and abroad.
