I’m currently studying Environmental Science at Newcastle University, with a big interest in environmental law and consultancy. I want to understand how environmental data can influence policies, and question if the way we use data is reflective of all regions affected by climate change. I recently spent a year at the University of New South Wales, working on research around the Great Barrier Reef and inland parts of Australia. Doing a placement year, made me realise just how vast of a topic environmental science is, and the far reaching effects of climate change. Outside of university, I enjoy surfing and spending time by the sea - Maroubra Beach in Sydney quickly became a favourite while I was living there.
