About me

I am a sustainability professional with a rich academic background and bring a wealth of expertise and a commitment to social responsibility, as a dedicated advocate and consultant. I possess a law degree and a Master's degree in International Human Rights Law, and I have also obtained certifications in Biomimicry Life Principles and Digital Security and Human Rights. My passion for making a positive impact extends beyond my sustainability work, having spent five years as the Chair of an award-winning homeless charity.

I am an expert in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and can combine my legal, academic, and biomimicry knowledge to provide holistic guidance on sustainability issues. My commitment to digital security and human rights underscores my dedication to ethical practices in the modern era.

I consult and provide support on sustainability strategy development, aligning practices to global frameworks and implementing L&D programmes to enhance sustainability capability across organisations.
