I am proud to be a Visiting Professor at the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Surrey where I strive to support the development of key competencies for sustainability.

I am a professional sustainability scientist and knowledge broker, with 35 years’ practice in the public and private sectors, working at the interface of science and policy.
