On a more personal level, I enjoy living an active and outdoor lifestyle, including hiking, cycling, running and going to the gym.

I've just started working in Sweco’s Environmental and Sustainability team as a Graduate Environmental Planning Consultant. I originally studied Psychology at university before working in the pharmaceutical sector for a couple of years. I wanted to change career path to work in the environmental sector and I’m very happy I did, because I love what I do now! I like to think that my varied background hopefully gives me a multidisciplinary approach to solving problems and coming up with innovative solutions. Outside of work I enjoy being outdoors hillwalking, climbing, or running, which is probably why I fell in love with Scotland and its many hills when I moved there.
