Lisa Hamilton

Graduate Environmental Scientist with an MSc in Environmental Leadership and a BSc in Zoology, from the University of Galway.  Adaptive and motivated individual with strong communication and reporting skills seeking a graduate position in the environmental field. 

I have recently just graduated from university, so I am seeking a graduate position in the environmental field where I develop industry knowledge and practical skills in a professional setting. 

Throughout my education, I gained practical experience in applied ecology, particularly developing skills related to bird and small mammal surveys.  I conducted a small mammal population study in Glengowla Mines, Co. Galway, for my undergraduate thesis. I carried out a breeding bird survey on the Kylemore Abbey estate in Galway as part of my master's thesis. In my final year, I also conducted fieldwork abroad in the Atlas Mountains and Tiout Oasis in Morocco, including small mammal, bat and entomology surveys and light trapping.
