Interests
I work as a stockman managing a herd of 100+ suckler cows using regenerative grazing. More broadly, I am also interested in wider food systems and the role of governance in food system transformation. I am also passionate about facilitating cross-disciplinary connection, communication and dialogue as a driver of meaningful change.

MSc Sustainable Food Systems @ University of Leeds - Putting my passion for nature-friendly farming into the wider context of the food system. 3LM Holistic Management Fundamentals - Furthering my interest in big-picture thinking. University Pig Farm, Dairy, Lambing, Calving - Gaining practical on-farm skills alongside studying.

Why I joined EmGen
I joined Emergent Generation as someone passionate about food, farming and nature, but with no connections or pathway to build a career in the industry. EmGen showed me there are many others like me and the community has opened up doors for me and my career. I am now passionate about fostering the network and supporting others to bring about change.
How I can support other members
I facilitate regular EmGen Speakers Corner online sessions where members can host discussions, workshops, or talks on a topic of their choice. This is a great way to introduce yourself to the group or find out what other people think about your passion. I have knowledge and practical experience working in regenerative grazing systems. I can connect other members with my network.
My next steps
I want to further explore facilitation by hosting FFCC Food Conversations and getting involved with farmer clusters and other community groups. I need help from people who are good at organising events or who would like to get their community talking about food!
