I graduated in 2022 with a first-class degree in marine biology from the University of Essex. I live on the east coast of England and it has always been my dream to work in marine science. First and foremost, I am passionate about conserving the natural environment. I did my final year research project on marine pollution and I am currently working towards publishing my research in a scientific journal. I was on the committee for the Marine Conservation Society at Essex University, where I coordinated multiple beach and river clean events. In addition, I volunteer as a coastal and estuary warden in my local area where I monitor the local paths and trails. I am a scuba diver and general being-in-water-lover. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Best wishes, Anna Clark.
