        Education Officer Helen McNeill during a seaweed show and tell session with primary school children

Ocean Explorer Centre Manager

I manage ΒιΆΉ΄ε'  and shop, and develop and deliver outreach and public engagement to increase ocean literacy and to explain ΒιΆΉ΄ε research to pupils, teachers and general audiences. In our growing outreach team I lead on working with children during their early years.

I studied languages at university but had a career change when I moved to Oban. An SVQ3 in Childcare and Early Education allowed me to spend time in the classroom and to develop the skills I need as an outreach officer. I am hugely inspired by what I learn about the marine environment from my colleagues at ΒιΆΉ΄ε which I share with our many visitors.
