I am a multihyphenate working across environmental conservation and equity spaces, serving clients with program and project design and assessment, policy advocacy, strategy, communications, and thought partnership. My firm primarily serves nonprofit and government entities, with select partnerships with mission-based for-profit companies. I bring my expertise in law, anthropology, policy, communications, and wellness to the work advancing equitable conservation. I am also a passionate and avid SCUBA diver, coral restoration volunteer, and fundraiser aiming to advance equity in ocean conservation through local, hands-on, in-the-water work. I serve on the Advisory Board for 10% For the Ocean and volunteer regularly with the Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program. For more information, please visit www.silleckconsultingservices.com.

I am a passionate communicator and researcher with an extensive background in the environmental humanities and social sciences. My work is driven by a desire to deepen our understanding of the relationships between people and nature and to foster more compassionate, sustainable ways of living alongside other species. Based between Sweden and the UK, I work in academia, teaching courses in environmental law, political and historical ecology, and disaster risk management. Alongside my academic work, I contribute to non-profit organisations advancing conservation and animal welfare. At Faunalytics, I translate complex research into accessible insights that support evidence-based advocacy. As a feature writer for Ubuntu Magazine, I spotlight conservation initiatives and the people driving change. As Community Advocates Coordinator at WildHub, I lead strategic communications and initiatives that connect, engage, and empower conservation practitioners worldwide. When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
