Samantha Ovenden
"The WLT internship, was everything I expected and more, it really gave me an insight to working for a conservation charity and all the different aspects involved, I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a career in conservation charity work, and I know I would not have got my job with the RSPB without my experiences with the WLT."
Where is Sam now?
"I am a Membership Development Officer (Corporate and Community) with the RSPB: This includes various external and internal (run by RSPB) events across Eastern England to engage with the public about the work of the RSPB, but included in that I go into Schools and work with children of all ages on their bird identification which is great fun! We play games read stories have loads of little activities and get them making their own little bird hides. I also get to go along to various different businesses, councils, universities and community groups and do presentations about the work of the RSPB these can be specific e.g. based on one campaign such as Sumatra, or generic and cover the general work of the RSPB."
