“I am acutely aware of the passion of CIEH members, the diversity of their technical skills and their desire to be well represented.

"I am very much looking forward to engaging with members as I work with the CIEH board and staff team to future-proof the CIEH and improve its offering to existing members and EH professionals coming through the ranks.”
