I have always enjoyed working with people from diverse backgrounds, ages and abilities, helping them build a deeper connection with nature. Over the years, I have done this through various roles such as an Outdoor Activity Instructor, Nature Conservation Leader, FE Tutor, and Forest School Leader. In 2016, I was fortunate to start working on Avon Wildlife Trust's Wellbeing with Nature project. During this time, I became curious about the strong link between nature and wellbeing through the lens of ecopsychology and how our disconnect to nature is affecting both human and planet health. Joining The Community Farm team in 2021, as the Wild Steps coordinator, has been an incredible opportunity for me to continue doing what I love - being with people outdoors. Here, I can inspire people's connection with nature while caring for the farm's wildlife through practical conservation activities, and, of course, having fun!
