Hello everyone!

My name is Freya, and I’m just starting a PhD in terrestrial ecology with Dr Adéle Mennerat as my supervisor. I’m Scottish, but I moved to Bergen in 2019 after completing a Masters of Research in ecology from Glasgow University. Since then I’ve had a million different jobs: photographer, fieldworker, bartender, DJ, art technician, waitress, research assistant… I’m looking forward to just focusing on the PhD now!
