About

I currently have a Fellowship for two years’ postgraduate study at Yale University in the USA, where I’m taking a mixture of Political Science and Environmental Studies courses.  Previously, I’ve worked at Futerra Sustainability Communications as a junior consultant, interned at environmental think tank Green Alliance in the policy team, researched public engagement with science in the Cambridge University Geography Department, delivered climate change workshops with the Royal Geographical Society, and volunteered at the Botanical Institute of Venezuela.

I’ve spent three years volunteering with the UK Youth Climate Coalition.  That included attending the UN climate negotiations in Poland in 2008 as a youth delegate; helping to put on the UK’s biggest ever youth climate event, Power Shift, for which I managed the media team; sitting on the Youth Advisory Panel to the Department for Energy and Climate Change; coordinating the work we do with our coalition partners; and advising Ed Miliband’s climate adviser on how to communicate about climate change.  I also sat on the steering group of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition for a year.

I have a BA in Geography from Cambridge University.  My undergraduate dissertation explored the differences in how climate change is framed at national and local levels in UK public policy, and the implications for policy implementation.
