Conservation Biology MSc

I was lucky enough to secure a role with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). 

Shortly after leaving Kent I was lucky enough to secure a role with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) as a Nature Policy Officer at their headquarters. 

I develop RSPB policy and advocate this to the Government and other interests, in order to ensure that our native wildlife is given the protection that it needs. 

I love knowing that I am making a difference by standing up for nature. My interdisciplinary knowledge of wildlife conservation issues gained while studying at Kent, and the communication skills that I was able to develop throughout the course, were vital in getting me here and continue to assist me as I carry out the role.
