            <h2 id="Personal">Summary</h2>
            <p>I'm a Geo-professional working at the intersection of Earth Observation, Geology, and Environmental Modelling, particularly in river modelling using satellite sensors. My work includes creating workflows to support ecosystem monitoring for sensitive river catchments and wetland restoration projects. In my years of work I have contributed to ESA-supported water and carbon ventures, at conferences, and co-authored a paper whilst continuing my professional development to expand into other relevant industries. </p>
