Professional summary

I am a Scenario Developer at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, within the Land Use Group,  focusing on pathways for land use for net zero. My research interests are interdisciplinary, focusing on how qualitative engagement with stakeholders can feed into the pathway development process and consequent quantitative modelling of those pathways. I also have interests in the implications for food systems; from the production to the supply chain and consumer behaviour. My research primarily focuses on the UK and Devolved Nations.
