Creating the St Andrews Forest Proposal was a treacherous journey of bringing together all the skills that I have previously learnt into one project. Granted lockdown since March had taught me more than I'll ever need to know about self-discipline, a personal research proposal was a perfect opportunity to showcase this altogether. It has taught me to love the problem not just the solution.

Here, I present the skills that I believe were most helpful in the creation of the proposal and the subsequent CEED workshop.
