Mother, teacher, activist, passionate about environmental and social justice. Experience of working in early years education, and in community development in the UK and overseas. Very active in my local climate action group where we used the doughnut as the basis for our climate action plan. Excited to see the Cornwall Doughnut Collective establish! Keen to connect with others in Cornwall (and further afield!) working on this.

I am a life-long learner. From a early background in computer systems, which gave me a whole-systems lens through which to approach the rest of my life, I've been an educator, author, artist, Transition movement trainer/contributor (since 2008), Permaculture instructor/designer, group facilitator, complementary currency designer, researcher, parent, grandparent. I love seeing through multiple lenses and points-of-view. I guess you could say I am a Whole-Systems, Biomimicry, "DANCING ON MY LEARNING EDGES" explorer ... contributing, connecting, and loving, with joy.
