I am a flood risk management professional with 10 years experience working in FRM in Scotland. I have played a key role in developing and delivering Scotland's first Flood Risk Management Strategies, and am responsible for leading the development and refinement of methods, datasets and approaches for the Cycle 2 Strategies in 2021. I have a wide breadth of experience gained through project delivery in hydrology, hydrological analysis, hydraulic modelling, natural flood management and flood prevention scheme preparation. I have specialist skills in GIS analysis and processing and options appraisal (both economic and multi-criteria) at strategic and detailed delivery levels.
