Trustee & Board Secretary
Growing up on the outskirts of London doesn’t naturally lend itself to coastal conservation, however Sarah forged her lifelong connection with nature through family holidays and day trips to the seaside, and endless walking through the Kentish countryside. This connection was cemented at the age of 18 when Sarah went to work and live in one of Canada’s national parks.
Sarah returned to study for a degree in ecology and environmental biology followed by a PhD in environmental science, which specifically looked at the connection between people and the natural resources they depend upon. This led to a career spanning academia, public and private sectors, all focused upon the sustainable use of the natural environment. Since 2012, Sarah has worked specifically on the management of UK fisheries and was the Director of Sustainability for an international fishing company working to advance the sustainability agenda of UK commercial fisheries.
Sarah’s love of nature and wildlife have led her to travel extensively and experience ecosystems and communities all around the world, from Canada and North America, to Indonesia, India, China and Vietnam.
She now lives in Norfolk with her family and dog and spends every free moment enjoying the endless miles of Norfolk beaches hoping to instill the same love of nature and wildlife in her children.
Sarah is thrilled to have been asked to join the Board of Trustees for Project Seagrass and to have the opportunity to be involved in an organisation that is working tirelessly to conserve and protect such valuable ecosystems and their associated species for future generations.
