As a sustainability professional, my core motivation is to maximise impact. As an educator, my focus is on meaningful engagement. Therefore, I design and deliver collaborative, science-based learning experiences that support organisations on their journey towards sustainability and making a positive impact. My approach is grounded by 15 years in learner-centred education and formal sustainability training at UCLA.
I'm assuming a lot of people coming here are pivoting into sustainability, just like I did a couple of years ago. I am happy to share my experiences, and just be one of the people out here you can talk to!
I was drawn to sustainability mostly for selfish reasons: To make the world a livable place for my son, and to make a career switch from teaching, which I was pretty much burned out doing.
I am in charge of governance, training, and cultural and behavioural change.
It was challenging pivoting to a new industry and starting as an outsider. I have realised that excitement is a must to succeed, and that frustration is (sadly) normal.
I am most proud to have designed some pretty successful learning experiences, and see participants not using TikTok during my workshops!
