A highly capable professional seeking a role in a socially and environmentally conscious organisation; drawing on demonstrable experience in non-profit project and event management, communications, digital marketing, media relations and stakeholder engagement - with previous roles at Environmental Justice Foundation, This is Rubbish, Big Green Week and the Green Party of England and Wales.
Proficient creative - technical skills, a keen eye for design and composition and an aptitude for writing suitably nuanced copy for a range of audiences and platforms are assets that I would bring to any role. Further, I possess proven track record in website development having briefed and worked alongside designers in a variety of roles.
I studied Psychology and Zoology BSc at University of Bristol. Whilst I did not pursue academia, my degree continues to inform my approach to environmental work, where an understanding of biological systems and behavioural science is an asset. I am committed to food waste issues, sustainability and more broadly, anthropogenic impacts. This is evidenced by my current role as Non-Executive Director at food waste charity This is Rubbish, and previous roles at the Soil Association and FoodCycle. As a result, I am informed as to the current social, political, policy and academic landscape in this area.
