I'm an art activist who went to law school and developed my own sustainability consulting business based on uniting human activity with habitat. My two areas of focus are Nature- and place-based programming and project development that emphasise community leadership; additionally, I offer workshops to organisations to rethink what "sustainability" means in their sector, helping them think beyond buzzwords and transform their work into tangible, positive action.
My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
