Current role
I'm Head of Farming Systems at Regeno. I bring more than five years of experience as a farm consultant focused on livestock sustainability, working with farms to turn sustainability strategy into practical change on the ground.
Research
Soil Steps is my Professional Doctorate at IBERS, Aberystwyth University. It asks whether grazing management changes soil microbial and nematode communities enough to explain why carbon outcomes from regenerative grazing vary so widely, and builds that biology into better carbon models.
Background
I trained originally in veterinary medicine, then moved through livestock research and agribusiness into sustainability consulting. That path has taken me across the UK, the EU, Africa, and India.
