Careers Panel at the University of Birmingham

Chloe Fellows returned to her alma mater this week to serve as a keynote participant on the University of Birmingham careers panel. The event provided final-year students with a realistic look at the various paths available within environmental science careers.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in air quality consultancy, Chloe provided a clear perspective on the industry’s evolution. She discussed the technical rigour required for modern assessments and the growing importance of environmental advocacy in the private sector. By sharing her personal trajectory from student to the founder of an independent consultancy, she highlighted how environmental science careers offer a unique opportunity to blend scientific expertise with community impact. The session concluded with a Q&A where Chloe offered tailored advice on professional accreditation and navigating the early stages of a consultancy career.
