Freelance Environmental Consultant specialising in biostatistics

Profile Summary

As a freelance environmental consultant, I leverage over seven years of experience in soil science, carbon modelling, and ecological project management to the design of innovative forest carbon models and personal footprint calculators. My work includes implementing reforestation programmes across 50 hectares of UK woodland, collaborating with international NGOs, and supporting rural landowners in navigating the practical challenges of carbon offsetting and biodiversity net gain initiatives. My academic research focuses on ecosystem and functional ecology, examining how variations in bedrock composition influence nutrient cycling and its sensitivity to climate change in forest soils. I specialise in integrating field research, multivariate statistics, and stakeholder engagement to deliver impactful environmental projects. With a mission to advance sustainable reforestation and ecosystem restoration, I work to bridge applied science and real-world solutions—empowering organisations and individuals to tackle climate change effectively.
