I am actively engaged in promoting a more sustainable city within various roles and community groups. I feel fortunate to be part of the positive changes happening in the world of transport and travel in Bristol and the West of England,. I currently work with SevernNet on the Severn Ride and Stride project in partnership with Sustrans in the Portbury, Avonmouth and Severside area. Our goals are to encourage people to travel sustainably by promoting walking, cycling and public transport to reduce pollution, improve access to work and encourage healthy lifestyles. The project role has enabled me to work with businesses and communities to leave a lasting legacy in the area.My background is in cycle training which has enabled me to be on the front line of behaviour change and see the positive effects active travel can bring to people.
