Tell us a bit about yourself.
Originally, I joined Another Way due to my skills as a filmmaker and spent my first year with the charity working on the Power of Ten film, which was very excitingly released at the Another Way festival in March. Since completing the film, I have been working with the Translating Science team to turn scientific papers into digestible, accessible articles suitable for a non-scientific audience.
What do you enjoy most about working for Another Way?
As both a content creator and a scientist, I want to use my skills to ensure that science is accessible and useful to the general public. Working with Another Way therefore helps me feel empowered and gives me the ability to spread important knowledge about the environment. I equally thoroughly enjoy being involved in a workplace full of young, enthusiastic employees and volunteers who are willing to commit their free time to helping the environmentalist movement.
Which environmental topics are you most excited about?
As a marine photographer and scientist, my interests naturally lie with the marine world, in particular the blue carbon cycle (carbon that is absorbed by the ocean and the animals within it). Through my diving, I have had the privilege of diving on some of the UK’s coolest blue carbon habits such as seagrass meadows and maerl beds, both of which are important nurseries for young marine species.

What are some small steps you take to create a more sustainable lifestyle for yourself?
I am always looking for new ways to reduce my carbon footprint and make my lifestyle more sustainable. Living in Cornwall, there is currently (although it is coming soon!!!!) no food waste collection, so I have been collecting my own food waste and taking it to the university compost heap. I have also recently convinced my mum to let me turn some of her garden into a wildflower meadow, which I am very excited about!
Leave us with a small piece of positive news you’ve heard this week!
To finish off, a piece of positive news I have learnt about this week is that nature has officially been recognised as a musician through platforms such as Spotify for profits to be donated towards environmental causes.
