Kirsty Crawford

Senior Project Officer, Citizen Science

Edinburgh

Kirsty currently works for an environmental charity as a Senior Citizen Science Project Officer, delivering a host of nature and community based wildlife programmes.

She has taken a few different paths: from her undergraduate in Journalism and Creative Writing in Glasgow, a Performing Arts Diploma from Italia Conti and years spent in London as a professional performer. To internships with the BBC Natural History Unit, roles at London Zoo and Buglife, then finally graduating with an MSc in Wildlife Biology and Conservation.

She is passionate about being 'more than one thing' in life and advocating for the impact of environmental education through many different sectors.

After meeting Laura and working together at ZSL London Zoo, it became clear that the two shared similar views on conservation issues and the need for a more open, transparent space for discussion.

She currently lives in Glasgow - find her on Instagram @wildscotplace.
