Present: Lecturer in Environmental Chemistry
With 8 years environmental policy experience, I graduated from the University of the West of Scotland with a PhD in environmental geochemistry in 2012. In previous roles I was responsible for organisational growth, liaising with the external stakeholders to develop national guidance and policy documents as well as deliver project timescales.
