Nature

Living on the fringes of Dartmoor, and having spent much time on the water whilst growing up, nature has fed into many aspects of my life and work. Central to this is my focus on stewardship; helping people to experience and understand the importance of the natural world and fostering a wider duty of care.

I have helped lead walks for my local church for which I hold an outdoor First Aid qualification, and I am excited to be working towards the Hill and Moorland Leadership award. I have very much enjoyed developing mapping work for a Dartmoor landowner and friend, producing firebreak, vegetation, livestock and elevation surveys using a blend of modern-day open-source GIS tooling and traditional surveying methods, skills that I endeavour to feed into my coding practice.

When time allows, I can be found wild swimming off the Devon coast. Stewardship is an important duty that drives much of what I do.
