Alex Leeper
Hello, My name is Alex Leeper. I am currently studying an undergraduate degree in Marine Biology and Oceanography and the university of Plymouth. I have a strong passion for the marine world and nature and am hoping to promote conservation. I am a qualified scuba dive instructor for PADI and love teaching and diving. I am new to the writing world, after studying for my A-levels and gaining an A in English literature, I turned to science, but am now hoping to maintain both subjects. I have a great interest in poetry and enjoy analysisng and even writing poetry.
The topics I cover in university this year are very wide ranging, from Oceanography to Biodiversity and origin of birds from dinosaurs. I hope to travel in the future and convey what I learn in my writing.
