I have recently graduated at Bangor University, Wales with a first in Applied Marine Biology. I undertook a year's internship placement as part of my degree in the Netherlands, IMARES where I investigated the bycatch rates of juvenile plaice within the brown shrimp fishery. I am also currently involved with a project investigating the population biology of thornback ray (Raja clavata) in North Wales. I am interested in fish and elasmobranch population biology and ecology and anthropogenic impacts upon them.
