Summary

Conservation was an entirely new subject to me before enrolling at Lincoln. What drew me to the course was how different it was than anything else I’d seen, I was previously interested in the Arts, Art History and Museum Studies degrees but I adored the idea of doing something practical and learning through experience.

Career Aspirations 

This degree has put me in a great position where I am able to choose any field of work I desire, which I am very grateful for. Currently, what interests me most is continuing my work in Natural History with oddities and curios like my taxidermy project.
