I manage ҹѰ' and shop, and develop and deliver outreach and public engagement to increase ocean literacy and to explain ҹѰ research to pupils, teachers and general audiences. In our growing outreach team I lead on working with children during their early years.
I studied languages at university but had a career change when I moved to Oban. An SVQ3 in Childcare and Early Education allowed me to spend time in the classroom and to develop the skills I need as an outreach officer. I am hugely inspired by what I learn about the marine environment from my colleagues at ҹѰ which I share with our many visitors.
