Happiest when on a bicycle and traveling on a shoestring. I work in social impact, currently developing projects in climate change and decarbonisation.
I of course love traveling, trying new food and design. Enjoy observing the subtle differences of cities and and capturing these through photography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Just finished an MBA at Oxford. Was a dream to study at such an institution - it took years of prep to get in but I persevered!
Also recently did an amazing 8 day cycle through Italy :) So beautiful!
