Having qualified as a teacher in 2001 I worked as Science Lead for 6 years before deciding to leave my post and follow a MSc course in Animal Behaviour - studying field techniques in Madeira, Mull and Tanzania.
Whilst studying I launched Wildworkshops - visiting schools to captivate, engage and inspire primary children with hands-on nature workshops. Schools loved it - I talked at shows and conferences and now, 17 years later, work nationwide. Alongside Jah McKenzie we provide 'Really WildWorkshops' - inner city shows bringing wildlife to the UK's most urban schools.
