With a lifelong love for the outdoors, Laura completed a degree in Geology and a Masters in Water and Environmental Management.

Having grown up near its banks, Laura began her career restoring the River Brent with Thames21 and then worked for Thames Landscape Strategy on the River Thames. At SERT, she is the Catchment Officer for the Hogsmill and Beverley Brook. Laura is passionate about urban rivers and has a keen interest in connecting people with wildlife and the restoration of natural habitats.

She is happiest when bird watching on long walks but also loves going to a coffee shop with a good book!
