Biography

I am a young multi-award-winning advocate focused on democratising climate solutions, bridging the gap between young people and policymakers. I currently work as a special projects officer at Impatience Ltd.

I co-ordinated Mock COP26, a virtual youth climate conference convening 800+ young people from 140 countries to form policy proposals and collaborate with leaders such as the COP26 President and UN Youth Envoy. Working to enact the Mock COP policy proposals, I supported the UK Presidency in creating a joint event of education and environment ministers at COP26, facilitating pledges from 25 countries, and going on to advise the Department for Education on their Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy and Natural History GCSE.

I co-founded Teach the Teacher, a Mock COP campaign supporting students in 20 countries to teach their teachers about climate change, now providing students with opportunities for leadership in 100 UK schools a year. At COP27, I was an organising partner of the first Children and Youth Pavilion at a COP, working to promote the interests of young people at the global level.
