Interests
My work at Sustain is all about campaigning for better government policies, legislation and funding to bring about a transition to a more sustainable food and farming system. I'm interested in all things farming, especially agroecology, supply chain fairness, and land access. I also enjoy growing food and flowers on my allotment, and experimenting with home composting.
Educational/training highlights
I've been working in research, policy and advocacy within the non-profit sector since 2020. Previously, I worked in publishing and academia.

Why I joined EmGen
I joined Emergent Generation in 2024, because I'm interested in how we can get more people back onto land. In my day job, I work on campaigning for policies that can address the power imbalances in our food system and for better policies for new entrants. On a personal level, I also want to meet other young people like myself who want to make growing food a greater part of their lives.
How I can support other members
If you have any questions about policy and advocacy careers, feel free to give me a shout. Also, if you're aware of any campaigns I should be aware of, drop me a line.
