I’m a creative and strategic communicator with over 14 years’ experience leading impactful communications across sustainability-focused sectors. I have extensive experience in sustainability, particularly in agricultural supply chains such as coffee, cocoa, sugarcane, and textiles. I have a strong track record of translating complex topics like human rights, biodiversity, and regenerative agriculture into compelling content that resonates with diverse audiences. My background includes leading international communications teams for organisations like Bonsucro, Twin, and Liberation Foods. I have been working on freelance projects since September 2024. I’ve developed and implemented audience-led communication strategies, produced high-quality reports, blogs, and newsletters, and grown digital engagement across LinkedIn, websites, and email campaigns. As a freelancer, I’ve supported clients across sectors, from human rights and sustainable fashion to real estate and agricultural recycling, delivering newsletter redesigns, SEO-informed blogs, and social media growth. I work independently with initiative, empathy, and clarity, and bring a deep commitment to environmental and social impact. I'm British and am based in Mexico. I’m seeking meaningful freelance opportunities with purpose-driven organisations. If you need support with content production, communications strategy, editing, or stakeholder engagement, I’d love to hear from you.

I help businesses turn complex sustainability requirements into practical plans, strategies and deliverables they can actually use. I'm an award-winning sustainability consultant with more than 20 years' experience working with global brands, SMEs and start-ups across the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. Before founding GB Sustainability, I held senior corporate responsibility roles with ALDI in the UK and Australia, worked in responsible retail at The Co-operative Group, and gained earlier experience in sustainability consultancy. My work includes carbon footprints, Scope 3, Net Zero and Carbon Reduction Plans, EPR and packaging compliance, B Corp, sustainability strategy and ESG assessments. I also work across materiality, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, circular economy, sustainability reporting and sustainability communications. Whether you need to understand a new requirement, assess where your business currently stands or build a practical roadmap, I can help you work out what matters and what to do next. Clients typically bring me in when they need to: • Understand a complex sustainability requirement or problem; • Assess where their business currently stands; • Develop a practical sustainability, carbon or Net Zero strategy; • Turn data and analysis into a clear roadmap or deliverable; or • Get an experienced independent perspective on sustainability work. Having worked both inside major businesses and as an independent consultant, I understand the technical side of sustainability as well as the practical realities of implementing it inside a business. I work independently, communicate clearly and focus on producing practical work that helps clients make better decisions and move forward. If you have a sustainability challenge and aren't yet sure what the right approach looks like, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to achieve.

I’m a freelance writer with three years’ experience specialising in the climate sector. As a result, I have a deep knowledge of the science, policy, and financial landscape surrounding the energy transition. I’ve worked with over 20 startups, nonprofits, and consultancies, delivering authoritative content and thought leadership aimed at general audiences, industry leaders, and policymakers. With a background in journalism (reporting for Reuters among others), I’m confident interviewing stakeholders at all levels. I write with accuracy and rigour, and can perform in-depth research. My strength is finding the key messages that will resonate with an audience, and communicating them in a clear and impactful way, without losing nuance.
