The latter stages of my degree were focussed on water and water management, with my fourth-year project on the potential environmental effects of pharmaceutical contaminants released from a surcharged drainage system. In between years at University I worked at a Salvation Army summer camp in Colorado, travelling through north, south, and central America with the money I saved! I stuck around Exeter and landed at AWP after I finished my degree, continuing to lead a youth group at my church on Fridays, and explore the South West on the weekends.

After joining AWP, I spent time in the transport planning team, then worked a longer stint in a detailed design team, where I contributed to the Duchy of Cornwall schemes in Poundbury and Nansledan. I now work in the drainage planning team where I cover a range of matters in relation to drainage and flood risk. Recently, I have been helping to develop our company expertise
regarding nutrient neutrality, finding solutions to reduce phosphorus and nitrogen discharged from development sites. I also enjoy contributing to the ESG and Carbon focus groups, channelling my interest and previous education in environmental sustainability into various initiatives we are working towards as a company.

Through AWP, I am also pursuing chartership with the ICE.
