I take the opportunity to discuss and take action against racial inequalities and ethnic disparities
PhD Zoology student at Quadram Institute Biosciences, University of East Anglia
Chickens have been my passion since I first got an incubator at the start of high school. Starting my PhD with poultry felt like destiny but they are not my only focus. I am an all-round animal lover! I am passionate about the One Health initiative, leading to my publications in comparative oncology. I additionally volunteer to monitor local native animal population in the Norfolk Fenlands.
I always say, “be the change you want to see” and the REED Ecological Network allows me to do just that. I feel empowered and seen. As vice-chair of the REED Ecological Network, I take the opportunity to discuss and take action against the racial inequalities and ethnic disparities within natural science & agriculture using various platforms, including podcasts and webcast interviews.
