Biography
She is a social scientist at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, where she have been working since 2002. She initially trained as an ecologist at the University of London (BSc) and University of Leeds (MSc), spent time rehabilitating chimpanzees in Sierra Leone and chasing fig wasps in the Cook Islands before joining CEH to work on an EU-funded project on biodiversity conflict (BIOFORUM). This led to the realisation that most of her work involved people with differing, often conflicting, perceptions of biodiversity and its management. As a result she did a PhD in political science at the University of East Anglia to develop her knowledge of social science theories and methodologies in order to understand how different people view the natural world and to develop sustainable solutions to complex problems.
