I am a Chartered Environmentalist working as an Energy Consultant at WSP. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences and a Master’s degree in Applied Environmental Geology, both achieved at Cardiff University.
Following graduation, I joined WSP as an Environmental Due Diligence Consultant and worked in the London and Birmingham offices. As part of this role, I was responsible for managing, producing and delivering contaminated land and sustainability assessments for the purposes of transactional due diligence. I also took the opportunity to get involved with business development and was chosen to be part of WSP’s talent development programme (Taskforce).
I transferred to WSP’s Sustainable Places, Energy and Waste team in 2016 and am now based in Exeter, where I project manage the delivery of energy performance and energy management data, alongside supporting sustainable development projects. My role is unique in the fact that it is multidisciplinary and gives me the opportunity to develop my skill set by working with colleagues from across the business – such as the contaminated land, flood risk, sustainability, environmental compliance and marketing teams. I am also responsible for advising and supporting the team with marketing and profile raising activities, including creating and publicising blogs/white papers, supporting marketing campaigns, and organising knowledge sharing events.
As well as my role as an Energy Consultant, I am a committee member for WSP’s Women in Leadership Group, including being a co-founder of the groups Exeter branch, and a local STEM ambassador. I am also passionate about supporting and providing opportunities for others and enjoy organising fundraising and volunteering events for local charities.
