- About Me:
- I graduated in 2006 with a BSc in Physical Geography from Nottingham University. Since then I have been working on and learning about environmental issues and sustainable development, as well as also teaching about such issues when the opportunities arise. In 2007 I completed a six month European Voluntary Service (EVS) placement with SEEDS Iceland where I led international environmental workcamps throughout Iceland. I returned to Iceland in 2008 to train new EVS volunteers to do the same and also coordinated a sustainability youth exchange. I am currently working as an intern with the United Nations University in Brugge where I am researching Regional Centres of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development with the aim of setting up a Sourthern North Sea (RCE) in the near future.
