About Me
I'm about to start a Masters in Sustainability and Ecology, with a career background in retail and marketing and content creation. I love the outdoors and exploring new places, and I'm looking for opportunities that bring those two worlds together.
How did I get into the outdoors?
A mixture of genuine love and looking after my mental health. I try to walk as often as I can and get to the mountains whenever I get the chance.
Favourite adventure or experience?
Working and travelling around New Zealand for a year. Getting into their sustainability and conservation efforts, particularly the predator-free programme to protect native birds was a real eye-opener.
One mindset or bit of kit I always take with me?
Excitement and curiosity.
What am I looking for?
I’d love to showcase my content creation skills for an outdoor brand. Happy to start at entry level and open to a range of opportunities.
