I am a Policy Officer in sustainable agriculture for the RSPB in Northern Ireland, the UK's largest wildlife conservation charity! I spend my time working with farmers and policymakers, trying to ensure our agriculture sector is working for nature, people, and climate. I am also an organiser at the UK Youth Climate Coalition, where I co-ordinate the Systems Change Working Group. This fantastic youth-led organisation aims to empower young people to take positive action for climate justice, within this space, my focus is on national-level advocacy and the intersectionality of climate justice. I recently graduated with a Master’s in Sustainable Development from Queen’s University Belfast. I also enjoy rowing and sailing on Lough Neagh and playing the fiddle.

Desert Research Institue is Nevada’s non-profit research institute, founded in 1959 to empower experts to focus on science that matters.

My name is Kingsley & I work full time at MIT in the cybersecurity field. However at a very young age I used to pretend that I collected samples from the river in Ellsworth Maine. I've always been intrigued by nature and how things achieved symbiosis.

I am a passionate educator and lifelong learner with a deep interest in environmental science and STEM education. With experience in designing hands-on, inquiry-based lessons for diverse audiences, I thrive on making science accessible and engaging. My background includes teaching concepts associated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals like Life Below Water, Life on Land, clean energy, and conservation while incorporating creative technologies. Currently pursuing a doctoral degree, I am dedicated to inspiring curiosity and empowering learners to become environmental stewards. Enthusiastic about teamwork and innovation, I aim to bridge education and science for meaningful impact.
