    • My Job Title: I'm a Black and Green Ambassador and a junior consultant at Resource Futures

    • About Me:

      Bristol’s Black and Green Ambassadors project is a project that explores the intersection of climate and racial justice by connecting and celebrating diverse community action for the environment. I have a particular interest in clean air for all and is working on a project building community solutions for clean air.

      As part of this, myself and two other ambassadors have a monthly show on Ujima Radio.

      I also work as a Junior Consultant at Resource Futures, a sustainable waste consultancy working to make it easier for people to reduce their waste, recycle and build the circular economy.

      Having previously worked for Lush Cosmetics, I learnt the valuable link between global and local planning and action, and the balance between innovative solutions and learning/building on our culture/history.

      I was named one of the Top 100 most Influential Women in Engineering by FT in 2019 and am an advocate for diversity and equity in all forms.
