Isha joined the Synchronicity Earth team in September 2022 as Events and Engagement Coordinator, specialising in science engagement and education, with a background in ecological field research. Her passion for youth and community-based conservation professionally began as a researcher at Wild Otters Research, a grassroots wildlife research, education, and outreach organisation based in Goa, where she led a field research team alongside managing and delivering the internship and education programmes. On return to the UK, Isha swapped smooth-coated otters and mangroves for wildflowers and fungi at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, working on a flagship outreach initiative developing several training programmes, creative engagement activities, and events. Isha has a BSc in Biosciences from the University of Birmingham and is an active member of the IUCN-SCC Otter Specialist Group. Outside the office you’ll find her attempting to keep her balcony garden alive and flourishing, seeking hidden greenspaces, and sharing her love of nature journaling.
