Staff profile

My PhD project is part of the NETGAIN Doctoral Focal Award and explores the potential of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) to deliver combined benefits for biodiversity and human health and wellbeing through green social prescribing. The research aims to identify opportunities to maximise these co-benefits across the North East of England and beyond.

I have five years’ experience working as an ecological consultant, which has shaped my interest in how conservation initiatives can deliver meaningful outcomes for both wildlife and people. In particular, I am interested in how improving access to nature and green spaces can support human health and wellbeing while contributing to positive outcomes for biodiversity.
