Overview
I am the Year 3 Undergraduate Administrator for the School of Biosciences. I have recently been a postgraduate at Cardiff University, specialising in fungal behavioural ecology and community ecology.
My thesis, entitled ‘Battle of the Phyla: Ascomycete and Basidiomycete Interactions In Oak Heartwood' is an analysis of interactions between fungal taxonomic groups on media simulating oak heartwood environments. This thesis is founded on data derived from a 8-month laboratory project and subsequent data analysis in R Studio.
I am a member of the British Mycological Society (BMS). I have represented Cardiff University students as a Chair of Student Representatives, a Student Ambassador and Postgraduate Wellbeing Officer.
