More than 30 years interpreting the Galápagos

I first visited the Galápagos at the age of 14, inspired by my older brother, who was working as a naturalist guide. That experience helped shape my decision to study Environmental Biology at Swansea University and, in 1992, to return to the islands as a guide myself.

My biology degree proved to be an ideal foundation for working in Galápagos. Subjects that had seemed separate at university became directly relevant to what I was seeing in the islands, helping me understand the relationships between wildlife, evolution, geology, climate and conservation—and to interpret them clearly for others. It has been immensely satisfying to find that almost every part of my degree has proved useful during my career.

Since then, I have guided aboard expedition vessels and worked with universities, schools, photographers and travellers from around the world. Spending time alongside visiting scientists—particularly geologists and volcanologists—has continued to deepen my understanding of the islands.

Today, I divide my time between guiding, developing educational videos and creating wildlife artwork inspired by Galápagos and the natural world beyond.
