After studying French and music for four years at the University of Durham, Nicola underwent a dramatic change of direction by opting to work in the conservation sector and joined Wildscreen in 2005. Wildscreen Festival is world’s largest wildlife & environmental film festival and public outreach program. Organising an international film festival has provided Nicola with a unique overview of the world of wildlife and environmental filmmaking.
