Stacy is originally from the South West coast but has grown up on the West coast of Ireland. Having an interest in the natural world and the outdoors from an early age, she spent time exploring everything the Irish coast has to offer and travelling internationally with family. She then went on to gain BSc in Zoology at University College Cork and MSc in Tropical Marine Biology at the University of Essex.

Stacy has experienced expedition life first hand through volunteering in Costa Rica and research trips to Indonesia. After leaving university, she spent 2 years working as a marine biologist in the Maldives, putting her PADI Advanced Open Water certification to great use!

Stacy loves to travel at every opportunity and has travelled solo in Europe, Asia, and Central America. She hopes to add South America to this list in the very near future.
