oh deer wildlife blog
Hi, I’m Emily!
I’m a 22-year-old nerd from a tiny village just outside of Oxford. I created “Oh Deer” in 2018, and I haven’t looked back since. This section is designed to tell you a little bit more about who I am and why I’m so excited about nature.
I studied Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick, from which I graduated with FIRST CLASS HONOURS (yep, still not over it!). I then went on to study my Master’s in Environmental Bioscience and graduated with a Distinction. If you want to make me smile, please don’t hesitate to ask me about my dissertation or thesis—that is, if you’re prepared to listen to me rambling about bumblebees for the rest of the day!
I have always been a keen photographer (despite having more enthusiasm than talent) and I adore writing (except when it comes to academic papers). Oh Deer allows me to combine these interests with my passion for everything the natural world has to offer. On this website, I post both factual and opinion-based blogs, as well as photos and videos that I have shot and edited. If you’re more interested in photography, check out my instagram.
Nature is so important to me—a sentiment which I’m sure you share if you’ve gotten this far! In the face of climate change and ecosystem degradation, the future of our planet hangs in the balance. I want to be part of the movement to educate and inspire people to do their part for nature; that’s why I’ve tried to pour as much as I can into this website. I hope that you enjoy it, and perhaps even learn something new.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or feedback. Happy reading!
