I gained a first-class honours degree in Geography and a Distinction within my MBA Environmental Management Masters degree at Bangor University. I joined the School of Natural Sciences in 2014 and am currently a Teaching Associate and PhD researcher. My main research interests focus on the role of food and place making in Wales.
I contribute to teaching and learning activities covering geographical themes such as place and space, food systems and processes, sustainable development and policy. I specifically contribute to the Food Geography (DXX3600) & Food Geography: Enterprise and Innovation (DXX3601), and the Advanced Fieldwork module to Barcelona (DXX/C-3003*). I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Postgraduate Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS). I also hold the committee role of digital officer for the RGS Food Geographies Working Group FGWG.
I am also currently the School Placement Experience Officer for both short term (DXX/C-3009*, DXX/C-4102*) and long term (DXX-9000) opportunities, and my role involves the promotion and administration of degree-related student placements.
*Modules can be undertaken through the medium of Welsh.

- Wales Real Food and Farming Conference
The Wales Real Food and Farming Conference, taking its lead from the Oxford Real Farming Conference, explores diverse issues across sustainable food and farming, bringing together farmers, food producers, environmentalists and people involved in public health, food education, sovereignty and justice. It aims to open conversations between those interested and involved in the future of food in the country, mapping out what a sustainable 21st century food system for Wales might look like and how we might begin to build it.
