About me
Nature is my happy place and I’m on a mission to bridge the gap between city and country I’ve hosted and facilitated events all over the world, bringing people together, designing immersive experiences and creating beautiful spaces where people can connect with themselves, each other and nature. I’m fascinated with human rewi​lding and being part of a community and bringing people together is where I thrive. Having travelled the world, I’ve returned home to the countryside to take on the challenge of leveraging my global experience to connect people and deliver meaningful experiences in nature. Over the past decade, I’m proud to have led Remote Year programs of up to 50 digital nomads across 16 cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America, supported the recruitment of over 40,000 volunteers and been part of a 2012 Olympic legacy project bringing unique experiences to over 30,000 young people across the UK. The-Rewilding was established in early 2020 to host partner retreats, events and consciously created spaces for connection. We proudly support local community, provide education about sustainable farm diversification and champion the British farmer. I’m at the beginning of this adventure but I’m very excited to see where it takes me.
