I’m Head of Sustainable Consumption at Possible, where I oversee our Fixing Factories, Menu Flipping and Badvertising projects. I'm interested in what it takes to change people's minds and behaviour, whether that's cleaning up our public spaces of high-carbon ads, showing communities that repair is cheap and easy, or changing the choice architecture around plant-based food.

Before Possible, I spent five years as a sustainability consultant, helping organisations to have a positive impact on nature and society. I also worked as part of an international consortium to deliver the SKY Girls campaign in sub-Saharan Africa: empowering adolescent girls to take greater control of their lives and make choices that help them thrive.

Outside work, I sing in a choir, participate in grassroots climate activism and write poems about animals.
