Maybe your like

Why the sound of a giraffe? Well, you tell me what noise it makes. Try it. Got you thinking right?

At 35 I decided that I wanted to follow my heart for conservation, so I quit my job in financial journalism and went to South Africa for six months as a conservation intern.

Africa went and stole my heart, and I ended working in Zambia for two years running a volunteer organisation. When Covid-19 hit, I wanted to do something with my time to help conservation. I launched a live interview platform on Facebook where I interview conservation professionals to boost their awareness and engagement.

Let’s see if I can answer the giraffe question once and for all.

About me

Back in 2017 I decided that the corporate rat race was not for me, so I quit my job and went to South Africa for six months.

During that time I fell in love with conservation and working with local communities. I never went back to the UK and spent three years in Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia) before moving to Montserrat in 2020.

I want to use my background in journalism to highlight all the incredible work people and organisations – around the world – do to protect our planet.
