He also supports the delivery and development of SMART training across partner sites.

He holds a BSc in Animal Biology and Conservation from Oxford Brookes University. Early in his career, he worked with the European Union’s Court of Auditors before joining Fauna & Flora, where he reviewed their SMART user base and helped lead the development of their SMART implementation approach.
