Amia has completed a BSc in Ecology and Conservation at the University of Brighton, developing a strong interest in species interactions and the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity. Her dissertation examined butterfly community dynamics and climate influences within an urban reserve, strengthening her skills in ecological data analysis and applied research. Through extensive fieldwork during her degree, she gained practical survey experience, and while volunteering at Knepp she supported educational visits and engagement activities. Amia is keen to work towards protected species licences and is looking forward to gaining experience with protected species surveys, and develop her GIS skills.
