I have worked in the sustainability sector for just 9 years, working mainly within further and higher education to improve their environmental credentials. However, I have also worked in different sectors including student recruitment into higher education and teaching English in Japan for three years. I've had a lifelong interest in the natural work and I am lucky to have been able to turn my interest into my career. I'm also passionate advocate of volunteering.
