I connected deeply with the wildlife in my neighbourhood albeit my family were not as much into nature as I was. I decided to pursue a career path in the environmental field studying endangered wildlife as I felt they desperately needed to be conserved. I completed my undergraduate studies in ecological restoration, focusing on restoring degraded habitats for amphibians and birds in Canada solely. However, I wanted to do more international wildlife research, so I moved to the UK to complete a Masters degree in conservation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did being awarded the Global Excellence scholarship make you feel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was ecstatic because of my financial situation at the time and the expense of international tuition fees, I would never be able to do a Masters degree without this scholarship which greatly improved the likelihood of me being in a career I dreamt of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did winning a Global Excellence scholarship help you with your studies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It relaxed the financial pressure on me whilst I studied and relieved the burden of accumulating more debt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tell us about your experiences in Exeter \u2013 living in the city, joining societies, your favourite part of your studies:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cornwall campus was a dream come true really, the beautiful gardens that crisscrossed the campus made for relaxing study breaks from the library and Master\u2019s suite \u2013 of course living by the sea was a big plus too! My favourite part of my studies was completing my dissertation where I did a self-generated project on a subject I was dreaming about studying since I was 11 years old. My studies included two international trips to Kenya and Cambodia which broadened my horizons on international issues facing global wildlife populations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How have your studies at Exeter helped you on your career journey?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was able to gain a graduate-level role in a company focused on providing environmental assessments for renewable projects paving the way for a net-zero UK which is giving me hands-on and technical skills to protect UK\u2019s struggling seabird populations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your plans for the future?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;I plan to continue working as a seabird ecologist eventually moving into a NGO\/charity organisation fighting and protecting the world\u2019s most vulnerable, threatened and endangered species.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alumniprofiles.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni\/terita-deare\/#\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/alumniprofiles.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni\/terita-deare\/#\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Graduate School of Environment and Sustainability brings together experts from across the spectrum of earth and life sciences, engineering, humanities, social sciences and business.
