I am an academic and professional working in the field of human-animal interaction, and give a variety of talks very loosely based on that. I trained originally as a lawyer and now focus heavily on animal welfare law, but my interest in the animal-human bond is much wider than this.

I am particularly interested in the relationship between animals and humans over time, and focus heavily on ancient history, such as Egypt and Rome.

For the last few years I have been doing a significant amount of work with charities, some of which I personally manage, others I am a trustee for. The main gist of the work is animal welfare, and so my charity work has involved me in general rescue, domestic abuse services, and the world of documentaries!

As a lawyer and a teacher I have developed a flair for public speaking over the years, and wish to bring the world of anthrozoology (the study of the relationship between animals and humans) to the world!
