hWhat do you do with Another Way?
I am in charge of developing and delivering the Power Of Ten network. This includes developing our suite of resources and social media posts with the help of our wonderful volunteers and liaising with schools and students to deliver focus groups and help inform the development of these resources.
What do you most enjoy about working with Another Way?
I love how everybody is so incredibly passionate about what we do. We all have hope for the future and determination about spreading that hope. It makes me feel as though we are making great waves and that because of our work, others will be inspired to live with a better future in mind. I love that there is no idea too bold. We are encouraged to think big and act big.
Tell us a bit about yourself!
I currently live in Panama with my husband and two kids. I also do volunteer work on the side, for example volunteering here with the local turtle conservation charity and coral reef restoration project, plus heading up our parents’ eco group at the local school. I love to bring creativity to everything and am always looking for ways to teach my kids about the environment and sustainability through arts and crafts. I love all animals, but mainly elephants, turtles and cats; I manage to befriend cats anywhere I go!
Which environmental topics are you most excited about?
I am interested in all aspects of the environment but I get particularly excited when I hear of new, innovative ways to solve some of our big problems. It gives me a sense that we are capable of solving our problems with ingenuity and creative outside-the-box thinking.
What are some small steps you take to create a more sustainable lifestyle for yourself?
I make sure that my kids know about the values of a finite world and that there are consequences for anything that we do. We are all vegetarian and regularly talk about why. My son is a keen litter picker and always finds bits of rubbish on the beach and helps clean it up. We used reusable nappies and wipes and try to avoid plastics, shopping at the one and only refill shop here on the island. I am also trying to spread these little behaviours on to friends, people that I meet, and anyone who will listen really!

What do you do with Another Way?
I am Another Way's Fundraising Officer. My role entails tasks like developing and implementing fundraising strategy, monitoring available grants, filling out grant applications, planning the budget, establishing and maintaining relationships with donors, organising fundraising events and campaigns, writing reports… most importantly, it includes working closely with the team to come up with fresh ideas and strategies for Another Way’s growth.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a theologian, yet my entire professional journey has been predominantly steered towards project management and fundraising. Over the past 15 years, I’ve navigated through both corporate and non-profit sectors of Europe and the MENA region which has provided me with continuous travel opportunities. I've explore cultures and lived in different countries while meeting amazing people along the way.
What do you most enjoy about working with Another Way?
Another Way’s team is comprised of simple, passionate individuals who genuinely adore their work, making the whole process stress-free, enjoyable, and fun. This kind of environment is not only motivating but also empowering.
Which environmental topics are you most excited about?
For the past several years, I’ve been working on projects in cooperation with organisations from Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt focused at exploring how natural surroundings shape cultural identity and practices in deserts. It is fascinating how food, rituals, art, folklore and spirituality are deeply intertwined with the environment, shaping people's worldview and sense of belonging.
What are some small steps you take to create a more sustainable lifestyle for yourself?
I enjoy DIY projects which give new life and purpose to old things or waste. Also, I walk wherever and whenever possible – not only does it keep me fit and happy, but it’s also great for the environment!

What do you do at Another Way?
I'm our Science Communication Officer - so I run our Translating Science project with Nia, create the newsletter, develop resources for workshops and generally help to keep us on top of the latest scientific discoveries.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
Being interested in conservation and wildlife has taken me on some adventures. I studied biology at university and as part of that was lucky enough to study leopard ecology for a year in South Africa, while also sharing my bedroom with a snake, which you might not consider lucky. After uni I restored native wildflower habitat across Herefordshire. It was amazing being part of a community project and seeing what a difference a small but very determined group could make, and that’s one of the reasons I’m excited to be part of Another Way. Before joining Another Way I was a Researcher for wildlife documentaries, but I recently moved to live by the sea and I’m embracing my new slower pace of life by going for cold sea swims.
What do you enjoy most about working for Another Way?
I love telling stories about the natural world, and sharing science with a wider audience. The fact that I will be doing this as part of such a positive community and for a really important cause is even better.
Which environmental topics are you most excited about?
Whenever I learn something new about fungi, my mind is always blown, so, it would have to be something fungi-related. For example, how replanting forests works better if native fungi are reintroduced first, the potential for plastic-digesting fungi to help reduce waste, or new ideas for bioluminescent fungi replacing artificial street lighting.
What are some small steps you take to create a more sustainable lifestyle for yourself?
At the weekend, the simplest activities are often very enjoyable, but also sustainable and inexpensive! For me not much beats a bike ride and a picnic.
Leave us with a small piece of positive news you’ve heard recently!
More and more beaver releases in the UK! It’s very exciting to see a mammal that became extinct 500 years ago in the UK make a comeback to its native habitat in my lifetime.

I originally started as a Biochemist but have a huge passion for the environment which led me here! When I'm not working for another way I volunteer for a few different causes, including a chronic illness charity and environmental group. In my spare time, I love to hike and explore the UK and beyond, as well as being very into crafts and reading!
I love Another Way's message that sustainability isn't about sacrifice; it’s about improvement. You don't need to be a perfect environmentalist and anyone can make a difference! Helping people realise that making sustainable choices can actually make your life better - more creative, more positive and more connected - is what keeps me motivated every day.

What do you do at Another Way?
I helped to set up, and manage the Translating Science project where we aim to make science more accessible and engaging to the general public. I work with Maya (our Science Communication Officer) and a team of dedicated volunteers to produce articles, social media posts, and a podcast on recent environmental science.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
With a degree in Marine and Natural History Photography/filmmaking, and a masters in Marine Environmental Management, my expertise lie in marine conservation and communicating this to the general public. Alongside this project, I work for Cornwall Wildlife Trust on their intertidal seagrass restoration project, where I work with volunteers and local communities to carry out the restoration activities. I believe connecting people with nature plays a really important role in encouraging people to help our planet, and this often comes in the form of physical interactions and experiences, but following on from this, a deeper level of engagement also comes from learning about the environmental.
What made you want to be part of the Another Way team?
Another Way has given me the opportunity to put my ambitions and ideas into action! I have a passion for helping others become interested and engaged with the natural world, and creating this project has allowed me to create a platform that addresses the barriers between scientific research and public accessibility.
What is your favourite sustainable swap?
I would love to be able to shop at a zero-waste store and remove plastic from my day-to-day shopping, but sadly this is often unaffordable. Instead, I have tried to slowly remove plastic from individual items, and these slow changes make it feel more achievable. For example, I buy food in glass jars instead of plastic where possible and buy my toothpaste in a metal tube.
