Why you like working for WHS: I have always been interested in environmental issues and the nature of work that is carried out by WHS exposes you to a variety of different disciplines in the environmental sphere.

What you like doing when not working: I really enjoy the location of Cardiff and am usually found at weekends either trudging the Brecon Beacons or the coastal paths in and around Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. I love jazz music and in my down time at home, am either playing the saxophone or listening to my vinyl collection!
