Before establishing VerdantLearn, I created and taught the Postgraduate Diploma in International Wildlife Conservation Practice and related online courses at Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU). I have also taught courses in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu), and China (Beijing’s Forestry Institute), and for Oxford University’s Environmental Research Doctoral Training Partnership and Department for Continuing Education
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and earned my DPhil at WildCRU researching the behavioural and spatial ecology of Ethiopian wolves
I have been working as a consultant since 2000, with clients including conservation charities such as WWF and FFI, academic institutions, and individual researchers and conservation practitioners

Finally, I want to thank you, my students 💚 The more I teach, the more I learn from you. I learn from:
- Your lived experiences
- What motivates you
- Your questions
- Your curiosity, and
- Your approaches to tackling challenges and determining your next steps
You inspire me to create better courses that will help you reach your conservation goals! 🙏
