“Working in partnership with land managers is one of the many aspects of my new role that I am really looking forward to. Wallington is my local National Trust site, and I was thrilled to be invited to spend my first day in the job learning all about their ambitious plans for nature restoration.
“It is incredible to think that we may have beavers back in Northumberland this year, and that I am going to be able to follow the project so closely.”
She has also worked as a chief officer for North Tyneside Community Health Council and had a four-year stint as a health promotion specialist in North Yorkshire.
