About Me:

I have always enjoyed learning about science and getting to speak about science, this is why i like my job so much. When I’m not at work I am often climbing or hiking in the Scottish mountains.

I’m 27 and I live in St Andrews, Scotland (an hour north of Edinburgh). I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Liverpool and graduated in 2015. I then did a year out and did my Masters with the University of Exeter in Conservation and Biodiversity. During my Masters, I lived in Cornwall.

I wish I could own a dog but my weekends are so busy I don’t have time!

Communication is at the heart of my role.

I try to make Scottish marine science more accessible to other researchers in Scotland, for those in Scottish policy and for people and communities who are involved in the marine environment.

It has never been more important for society to be aware of the issues facing our oceans, and to do this we need to ensure those in science are speaking to other scientists, policymakers, industry, conservation charities, and members of the public.

I organise a large number of online events and webinars for all those people mentioned above. That way we can open the conversation up to those interested.

I also created ‘MASTS Casts’, a weekly blog that featured a variety of marine-science topics and people, such as:
- a student having their first paper published
- a new conservation project
- academics discussing a successfully funded project.
I not only provide information and practical assistance to speakers at these events, but I also advise on how to engage the audience. We don’t want boring speakers!

My work aims to ensure scientists are advertising their work to other scientists and to help make their work easy to understand for different audiences.
The qualifications required for this job are:

I studied biology as an undergraduate and conservation for my Master’s and although I loved being part of an academic community, I knew I didn’t want to do a PhD or take on an administration role.

I wasn’t aware of jobs like mine when I was studying, but it is perfect for me.

I don’t want to be a researcher but I love learning and talking about new research.

It’s not enough to publish in academic journals; for real change to happen it’s vital we open up the discourse so we can learn from each other.

It can only improve the science.
