My primary work is as an international development and sustainability practitioner and consultant. I work on designing, implementing and evaluating complex social impact programs working with partner governments, private sector and communities.

My role is an advisor and facilitator to others to support their development goals.

My goals is to shift away from being an 'expert' and to more of a facilitator/partner in supporting others.

My next area of growth is to have a much deeper understanding of systems theory and ways of thinking how to apply it.

At this stage in my life, my professional growth is focused on widening my understanding of different frameworks, a better understanding of myself and to share my knowledge/expertise with others.

I have an BA in Geography and Environment from Oxford, a MSC in development management from London School of Economics and I have invested the last 15 years working internationally on a wide variety of different development projects trying to solve different challenges (i.e conflict/security, community development, girls education, climate change, food security, inequality etc).

I have been very influenced by international development theory & practice, monitoring & evaluation, Geography and Environment, Sociology and Sustainability Studies.

I do not have a set philosophy but my view of life is that we are all very interconnected within the system of life. Human's play both a stewardship and an actor role in working within our planetary boundaries and to support life.
