Sustainability enthusiast

Living more sustainably has been important to me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've tried to encourage my friends, family, and colleagues to see that small changes can make a big difference—and that sustainable living doesn't have to mean sacrificing the things you enjoy.

I studied Human Geography at UWE Bristol, where I was able to explore the relationship between people, places, and the environment. After graduating, I stayed in Bristol for a few years, enjoying the city life I'd always imagined while building my career.

Alongside university, I managed a beautiful Georgian restaurant and events venue in Clifton. During my time there, I introduced greener ways of working, from new sustainability initiatives to training the team on reducing waste and creating more environmentally conscious day-to-day practices.

These days, I work remotely from Cornwall in the renewable energy sector—a role that perfectly combines my career with the values I care about most. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me outdoors, whether that's walking the coast, exploring somewhere new, or simply enjoying the slower pace of life that Cornwall offers.
