People

If I could live anywhere, absolutely anywhere, I would live where I am living now—on the shores of Tomales Bay, California. My neighbors include deer, coyotes, quail and oaks to name just a few. I am the director and lead teacher of a place-based forest school. Grateful.

I am a climate activist with experience of community-led action and youth advocacy. I am also an environmental journalist, and I believe that the media has a huge responsibility to communicate effectively about climate breakdown. In September 2022, I start my MSc in Environmental Policy.
