Background and Qualifications

I grew up on a small farm and have always had an interest in the natural environment. After completing a BSc in Geography at the University of Reading I worked as a transport planner before studying for an MSc in Desert Studies at Ben-Gurion University in Israel. Since then, I have worked largely in the public sector, initially as a researcher and environment officer, before becoming sustainability manager and then head of energy at a local authority, where I focussed on district heating and other decarbonisation projects. I joined the Department of Natural Resources as deputy director in 2024.
