Born and bred in Cornwall, I’ve always felt a huge connection with the ocean and no matter how many times I’ve tried to leave, I just can’t stay away!

I started learning to surf when I was around 8 years old.. and I’m still learning now. I’m happiest with walking boots on, the beautiful Cornish coastline as a backdrop and a dog by my side!

I’m the newest addition the education team and I’m really excited to have the chance to help inspire and energise the next generation of activists as I know just how crucial and significant they will be for the future of the climate and the oceans.

What I lack in surfing ability, I’m hoping to make up for with IT and data analysis skills which I’ve gained over the years from studying maths and having a software background.

I love exploring natural environments and my inquisitive nature has taken me to some amazing places around the world. During my travels, I’ve seen beauty at its finest, pollution at its worst and a human connection to the natural world that is a constant reminder of why we must protect it.
