As Farming and Rural Skills Education Manager for The King’s Foundation, people, the environment and their interactions are central to my work. I am based at the MacRobert Farming and Rural Skills Centre on Dumfries House estate, which was opened by His Majesty The King in 2023. Over my career I have worked across both the farming and horticultural sectors, from land management with The National Trust to being one of the first appointed wildlife liaison officers with Cumbria Constabulary.
