Description

I have spent the last few years exploring practical sustainability in a variety of ways - mostly through volunteering and working at small alternative farms throughout England and Wales. I am passionate about learning and sharing knowledge of sustainable agricultural systems, and am inspired and motivated by meeting, conversating with and living alongside others exploring this area.

I enjoy meeting new people, sharing food, experiencing the beauty of the world and discovering alternative ways of living. I spend much of my time outdoors - climbing, hiking, mountain biking, swimming or watching the sunset. Alongside this, I love music - listening to music and dancing are both passions of mine.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Agriculture - I have more than two years experience as a commercial vegetable grower in the UK. I have worked at two farms - a 50-acre regenerative farm where I was the lead grower (teaching volunteers and managing the farm day-to-day), and an 80-acre permaculture farm where I was part of team managing a CSA vegetable box scheme, 300 free-range chickens, a micro-dairy herd, a rotational grazing plan for cattle and sheep, and running a busy campsite and farm shop.

Carpentry - I have a variety of experience - building traditional timber-framed barns, poly-tunnels, cabins and converting vans. Alongside carpentry skills, I have basic plumbing and electrics knowledge. Carpentry has been my day-job for the last 3 years, and I currently work on a self-employed basis on a variety of projects.

Building design - I am currently undertaking an MSc in Green Building (at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales). It is a 3-year course, which focuses on sustainable building design - including the use of CAD software for designing, modelling building performance, practical testing of natural materials in retrofit and new build and critical discussion of sustainability issues related to the construction industry.

Events Management - At university, I ran a music events company and organised events for 3 years. Alongside this, for 3 years I worked as part of a small team to run Europe's largest annual student-led charity festival (ValeFest), during which I programmed line-ups, managed site builds and stages and leased with charities to provide fundraising opportunities.
