I have a passion for our environment and everything in it. Living an environmentally conscious and as close to zero waste lifestyle as possible, I hope to advocate for environment and educate about the steps we can all take to tackle the big environmental issues! I have completed my degree in Geography and Environmental Science from the University of Dundee, and my Masters in Environmental Protection and Management at the University of Edinburgh. I currently work for the international development charity, Tearfund, as their Youth and Young Adults Manager in Scotland.

In October, I went to the south western regions of Uganda with Tearfund, the international development charity. It was a week full of meetings, learning, seeing, praying, and exploring the amazing work communities in Uganda are doing to build up one another and be resilient against climate change.
