I have been a Chartered Arboriculturist (MICFor) since 2011 and a Chartered Town Planner since 2013. I have held the Cardiff University Law School Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate (Civil and Criminal) since May 2016.
I have worked as a Principal Arboricultural Consultant with Treework Environmental Practice since August 2014. My main responsibilities are navigating clients through the planning process and providing clients with risk management information in relation to trees. Before my current role, I worked for Essex County Council for 16 years as an Arboricultural Officer, Principal Arboricultural Officer, Head of the Natural Environment Team and Head of Place Services, an Environmental Planning team. During this time my main responsibilities were managing the Council’s Arboricultural Advisory and Inspection Service, which included a significant risk, contract management, and tree claim elements.
