What made you choose Arbtech?
I thought it was cool that Arbtech helps early-career ecologists break into the ecology sector via the internship. In fact, it’s something I haven’t seen before!
It’s great to be part of a company that supports professional growth and development.
What do you love most about the company?
I love the flexible working and the amazing team.
Everyone is so supportive, and it creates a great environment to learn and thrive in.
What do you do when you are not at Arbtech?
I’m fortunate to live on a farm, so I spend a lot of time outdoors with my partner.
We have horses that keep us busy!
I also enjoy running and staying active.
What is your biggest tip to achieve the most in life?
Push yourself outside your comfort zone; staying within it only limits you.
Great things happen when you challenge yourself and embrace new opportunities.
What is the best social you’ve been on at Arbtech?
As a newbie, I haven’t been on a social yet, but I’m really looking forward to future ones, especially ArbCon!
Where do you want to travel to next?
I’ve been very lucky to travel and work in some incredible places, such as Floreana in the Galápagos Islands with Darwin’s Finches.
Next on my list is Australia. Actually, it’s been on my bucket list for a while!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
As a graduate, I see myself developing my skillset to become a more experienced ecologist.
I’d love to gain my bat, great crested newt and hopefully barn owl licences, partly because I’m a bit of a bird nerd but also so I can be involved in more mitigation and supervision work.
What is a goal you have for the future, in or out of work?
I have a few goals, but my main one is to keep learning.
Once you stop learning, it’s easy to lose direction, and it’s a shame because there’s definitely always something new to discover!
I also hope to continue travelling and visiting beautiful places along the way.
