As a UN delegate, I've represented youth voices at major conferences such as Stockholm+50, COP27, COP28 and the UNFCCC SB58 conference.My academic background includes an LL.M in Global Environmental and Climate Change Law from the University of Edinburgh and a First-Class Honours MA in International Relations & Sustainable Development from the University of St Andrews.

I have also served as a student advisor on the Environmental Sustainability Board and as the elected Environmental Officer for the Students' Association.In terms of climate communication, I have over five years' experience of hosting radio shows and podcasts, and my passion for environmental advocacy extends to my creative work.
