I am a Research Assistant co-leading the NATURE Impacts‘ initiative in collaboration with WWF, which tracks progress and sets priorities for nature recovery at the national level. Alongside this role, I am funded by the University of Oxford’s Oxford Small Grants programme to extend and write up my Master’s research, working with the Environmental Sustainability team to help develop an organisational biodiversity strategy. This project analyses the biodiversity impacts of Oxford’s supply chains and explores opportunities for mitigation.
