I manage geographic data that makes sure every place is given an accurate name, address and location. This is super important because accurate location data helps police, fire and ambulance services respond quickly to emergencies. If they know where to go and how to get there, they can arrive much quicker, making it vital for public safety and disaster management.
Have you ever navigated somewhere using a map app on your phone? If you have, you’ve probably used location data to get there. Without the geographic location data I help to manage, we’d be lost…literally!

I am the first person in the world to conduct my research, so I am answering questions no one has thought about before, which I think is super exciting!
This means that my results can be used not inly to inform future research but also to help governments and water companies make decisions around new environmental policies.

Geography-related jobs are incredibly important – understanding and managing our (societal and natural)environment is key for our species’ long-term survival as well as our ability to achieve equality.
Government-related jobs are important for taking this knowledge and putting into practice – known as policy. This is the foundation for our democratic society.

my role helps protect people from the risk of flooding- This is impaortant as flooding can be a risk to life but also has massive impacts on people’s lives and mental health and businesses and also costs a lot to clean up afterwards. Also we help support the environment of the rivers where we have schemes through things like tree planting and fish passes.
