Hello!

I started my travels a few years ago after volunteering for Operation Wallacea on a biodiversity project in Honduras. We were completely off grid; spending time outside studying insects, reptiles and amphibians, bats, mammals, habitat and birds. Following this, I used workaway for 6 months travelling through Central America, volunteering in a variety of environments and meeting many lovely people. I worked in hostels cooking breakfasts, cleaning rooms, checking in guests and organising social events. I helped out on gardening projects and also taught English at a school in Honduras.

I graduated from University in June 2022 with a first in BSc (Hons) Psychology. I have now been lucky enough to receive a scholarship to complete my MSc (Res) at St Andrews University. This will be life changing for me, and I am very excited, (albeit nervous) to return to the academic world! I am interested in the interaction between wildlife, people and the environment. I am particularly interested in primate cognition, and comparative and evolutionary perspectives. I have studied spider monkeys in their natural habitat in Calakmul, Mexico and am now planning to continue my studies working with Japanese Macaques in Scotland.

My work as a gardener taught me valuable skills in horticulture and growing vegetables. Working in a team, we planted seeds in modules and transferred them to the ground in our kitchen garden. We were able to supply the kitchen with organic fresh vegetables daily. It was a joy to nurture them and watch them grow. We maintained a large 70 acre estate abundant in wildlife, plants and trees. Work in the winter is a bit different to the growing season. I have experience with and and am confident working with maintenance tools such as leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, strimmers etc. I also enjoy using power tools however am not as confident with all of these. I’ve done some green woodwork, such as splitting and chizzling and joining to make a natural woodland gate. I still stay in touch with my colleagues here, and occasionally return to do some more woodworking!

I know a fair amount about tracking UK mammals and have really enjoyed monitoring the local wildlife at work. I have assisted in setting up camera traps and also bat echolocation detecting devices to identify different species. In Mexico, I developed valuable skills collecting scientific data in challenging conditions. I enjoyed the experience so much that I volunteered again in 2023 at their other site in Honduras. I led mammal tracking surveys and taught others about how to collect and store data, and why it is important for biodiversity monitoring.

I have a good amount of experience working in hospitality. I was an assistant manager at my local pub, and am confident speaking to customers and leading a team. I have also been employed as a cleaner in private homes and office environments. I have worked as a sales assistant in retail during peak season, and as a picker in a supermarket. I have also helped (and enjoy) painting and decorating houses.

I currently run my own pet sitting and dog walking business locally, and have been for over a year. I have a loyal client base, and am trusted by individuals to take care of their pets and home whilst they are away.
