Since I left Plymouth, I joined the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) in a role based in Preston, as a Coastal Marine Planner. I spent eight months engaging with stakeholders discussing marine planning, marine plans and their impact on them. I then managed to get a role, still at the MMO in Newcastle in the same team but with a focus on data and evidence, in addition to writing climate change policies for remaining marine plans in English waters.
I then joined The Crown Estate as a Marine Policy and Planning Manager in May 2020, where I helped to assess risk in the policy and legislative space for the marine environment.
I then managed to get a new role in the same team as a Marine Resources Manager with a focus in floating offshore wind and aggregates.
One of the best things I have undetaken in my career so far is presenting at two major conferences in planning and the marine space on marine spatial planning,
