Biography
Q Community Convener.
I'm a freelance organiser and convener, working with networks for systems change to develop and prototype solutions at the personal, local and global level. I've previously worked with The Alternative Global, Building Belonging, Transition Together, Emerge and CtrlShift.
I'm also a peer-to-peer learning facilitator, trained by Huddlecraft. From October 2023 - April 2024, I'm hosting my own 'huddle' titled Living The Good Life; a peer group experiment in leisure, play and rest as the source of personal and societal transformation.
I have some experience in care; I was a live-in carer for a disabled women throughout 2020.
