Biography

Biography

Like many geoscience enthusiasts my childhood love and curiosity of nature has led me to pursue a greater scientific understanding of our Earth. In 2005, I graduated from Keele University, with a first class (dual honors) BSc degree in Applied Environmental Science and Geology. Following university I worked as an Applied Geologist for an Environmental and Engineering Consultancy based in the UK and then returned to Keele University to study for a doctorate in Applied Geophysics under a collaborative research project funded in part by InFront Solutions and The Clay Research Group. I completed my PhD in 2010 (thesis title - ‘Imaging and Monitoring Tree-Induced Subsidence using Electrical Resistivity Imaging’). As a member of Keele’s Applied and Environmental Geophysics Group (AEGG) I have been involved in numerous AEGG projects using a range of geophysical methods for site characterisation (geology, hydrogeology and contamination) and for the investigation of mine shafts and graves.

Following the completion of my PhD I took a career break to start a family and returned to Keele in 2014 to support teaching as a demonstrator and then as a sessional teacher. Since 2017 I have also worked on two EC funded Horizon 2020 research projects -SHEER (Shale gas Exploration & Exploitation induced Risks) and EPOS-IP (European Plate Observing System - Implementation Phase).
