My agricultural background:
I’ve been working with and alongside agriculture in the Essex and Suffolk area since 2008, when I was delivering countryside stewardship and overseeing protected sites for Natural England. I subsequently became a Catchment Sensitive Farming officer building relationships with land managers and partners to raise awareness of local challenges and support change. This local knowledge, experience and contacts really help me as an Anglian Water Catchment Advisor, as its only through working together that we can reduce risks to raw water quality. 

I want to talk to farmers about...
Land and water connectivity plus understanding the pressure points and opportunities on their holding’s. Focusing on those areas with practical, locally relevant advice can not only support resource protection but also help build robustness and efficiencies for both the food and water industries.
