In 2019 I founded Climate Live: global youth-led concerts and festival campaigns to engage a new audience in the climate movement. Some key acomplishments:- Coordinating Climate Live's inaugural Pavilion at the UN COP28 Conference 2023- Setting up teams in over 40 countries, mainly in the Global South- Helping coordinate simultaneous concerts in 27 countries- Gaining support from influential figures including Billie Eilish, Ellie Goulding and Cara Delevingne- Fundraising for our Global South frontline teams

From 2022 I have coordinated the Climate Live UK solar-powered pink bus stage and campaign stall at major festivals in the UK, including Reading & Leeds, Boomtown, Latitude, Wireless and Forwards. In 2021 I coordinated Climate Live UK's first gig with Declan McKenna on a boat on the River Thames in front of the Houses of Parliament. Whilst working with Climate Live I have assumed a wide range of roles including Operations Manager, Team Coordinator (team sizes ranging from 5-80, managing paid staff and volunteers), Stage Manager, Artist & Speaker Booker, Fundraising Lead, Partnerships Lead, Marketing Lead, Campaign Lead, Spokesperson, Treasurer, Photographer, Videographer, Video Editor and Sound Engineer.I also coordinate campaign stalls/tables at concerts, including at Billie Eilish's Overheated, Billie Eilish's London shows, Paramore's London shows, The 1975's London shows, Lorde's London shows, Sam Fender's Finsbury Park show and George Ezra's Finsbury Park show. From 2019-2021 I coordinated Climate Live campaign stalls and talks at festivals.

Photography and videography at concerts and festivals is a great passion of mine.Artists I’ve photographed include The Wombats, Easy Life, Alfie Templeman, Thomas Headon, Nova Twins, Ellie Dixon, Sports Team and Cristale. I’ve filmed and edited videos for festivals such as Love Saves The Day, Forwards and Wild Paths, and done promo shoots for Norwich artists and organisations such as Stripped Sets.Camera: Sony A7ii. 10+ years of experience of photo and video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Lightroom.

I am passionate about harnessing the power of music for climate justice, the importance of youth-led organising, platforming those most affected by the climate crisis whose voices are often underrepresented, and climate advocacy being intersectional. Places I have spoken/written about this include TED, BBC News, Sky News, The Independent, NME, Glastonbury Festival, Reading & Leeds Festivals, Vision 2025's Sustainable Events Summit, Solutions House and at the 2020 Bristol Climate Strike Greta Thunberg came to in front of 30,000 people speaking on behalf of the UK Youth Strike 4 Climate movement.

I am the Universities Link for Sport LOCAL For Life: a collective mission to inspire and prompt the implementation of positive change for the future of sport and humanity in response to the climate, nature and health emergency.

I was on the UEA Sailing Team, winning national university team racing events, and become a UEA Sports Scholar.

I have coordinated various climate gigs for groups other than Climate Live, including:- Paid To Pollute bandstand, December 2021- Fridays For Future concert on the beach at G7, June 2021- XR Youth Bristol Stage, July 2019

Pass The Mic was an initiative encouraging influential people and brands to spotlight climate activists from the Most Affected People & Areas on their social media.I helped contact influential people and link them with activists for Instagram takeovers. Supporters for the campaign included Anne Hathaway, Mark Ruffalo, Gemma Styles and Joe Lycett.

As the UK Student Climate Network's Celebrity Outreach Coordinator, alongside Greenpeace, I rallied support for the 2019 global strikes from influential figures including Billie Eilish, David Beckham, Mick Jagger and many more.

I volunteered as a campaigner and fundraiser at various events and as a water tester with Harry's Hydro Appeal, a charity set up in memory of my brother which provides hydrotherapy for disabled people.

Before deciding climate activism was my calling, I was on the British Youth Sailing Team. I competed at numerous World, European and National championships. The last 2 Laser (ILCA now) events I competed in were the UK Laser Radial Nationals 2017 where I placed 2nd Under 21 Female, and the Laser Radial Irish Nationals 2017 where I became Irish Female National Champion.
