17 March 1996

I am a second year life sciences undergraduate at the School of Biology, 
Manchester University.  My main career aim is to work in tropical 
forests, particularly in sustainable reforesting of logged areas as well 
as sustainable cropping of primary forest under conservation.

I spent summer 1995 with the Sunseed Trust working in a tree nursery 
under desertic conditions in Spain, testing methods aimed for 
introduction to combat desert encroachment in developing countries in 
Africa.

My degree course has a sandwich year, 1996-1997, which I intend to use to 
gain work experience.  Currently I am trying to put together a programme 
involving work in the field.  I am free to location within the UK or 
abroad, free to project duration - 6 months or longer - and self-financed 
if required.
