I am a current second year student at Oxford Brookes University studying Environmental Science BSc and have a keen interest in writing whilst also having a focus on the environment. I enjoy playing sports and being outdoors as much as possible (well when the weather is nice), whilst also taking time to develop and run my own social media pages for ThinkingForward which educates all about environmental issues and scientific articles.
