I undertook my BSc in Marine Biology at Bangor University from 2018-2021. In 2022 I completed my MSc at Bangor in Marine Environmental Protection with a research project on mark recapture methods to estimate the abundance and pot selectivity of the common whelk (Buccinum undautm).

Since finishing my studies I have been employed as a Research Assistant in the Fisheries team at Bangor under Dr Natalie Hold. My work thus far has been focused on commercial potting fisheries in Wales.

Currently, I work on a Fisheries Industry Science Partnership (FISP) funded project that seeks to further understand the landings composition of brown crab (Cancer pagurus) and European lobster (Homarus gammarus) fisheries. In addition, the project aspires to understand the size structure of crustacean populations through boat surveys and fisher interviews. This research will feed into future fisheries management plans.
