Looe, England, United Kingdom
Founder of Behaviour Change Cornwall - a project working to instigate pro-environmental behaviour change in relation to ocean plastics. Previously I conducted a Research Masters in Sustainable Development - researching Human Behaviour in relation to Marine Conservation. Projects I’ve collaborated on or led, focus on changing environmentally-damaging behaviours, ranging from reducing the amount of macro-plastics entering sensitive marine environments to projects communicating the importance of microbes in maintaining human and planetary health. I’ve also worked on projects assessing ocean health in the Southwest of the UK and worked at the Eden Project on an exciting science communication exhibit called Invisible Worlds - with the aim of creating narratives for change from the microscopic and vast biogeochemical environmental processes that shape our planet.
I had the opportunity to intern at Environment and Sustainability Institute at Penryn on a Ocean Health Index project looking at evaluating the health of the sea around the South West. My role was to create a replicable assessment methodology to assess iconic marine species.
