Biography

I graduated from Aberystwyth University in 1999 with an honours degree in Geology before working as a geologist for a small oil consultancy firm for a number of years followed by working in a UKAS accredited institution. I returned to academia in 2006, when I began studying for my PhD here in Aberystwyth, collaborating with Dr Bill Perkins and Dr Nick Pearce.  During my time here in Aberystwyth, I have undertaken several roles in the department including being an Environmental Earth Science First Year tutor, demonstrating on a variety of EES modules and assisting on several EES fieldtrips. Since completing my PhD, I have also undertaken some part-time lecturing for EA11810 ‘Earth Through Space and Time’.
