Welcome to 3Keel! How have your first days been so far?

I’ve really enjoyed them! I’ve just finished a master’s degree so it’s been great to get back into the swing of work. The team has been incredibly welcoming and helpful in getting me up to speed on all things 3Keel.

What have you started working on?

I’ve joined a project with a major FMCG brand, to gather data from their suppliers on the sustainability of a number of their key commodities. We’re also helping them prepare for the upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

What are you looking forward to most about working for 3Keel?

Learning from the rest of the 3Keel team! Everyone I’ve met is incredibly knowledgeable and happy to share their experiences which is great.

Who or what inspired you to work in sustainability?

I’ve always been driven by the desire to use my skills as a force for good. After beginning my career in management consulting, I took a short course in sustainability in 2016 and realised I wanted to pivot my career in that direction. Since then, I’ve worked for a social enterprise, a food brand, a regenerative agriculture start-up, and the Met Office. Seven years later, the timing was right to pursue a master’s degree in Global Sustainability Solutions.
While the scope of climate challenges is vast, I’m particularly passionate about driving positive change in food systems because they lie at a complex intersection of environmental, social, and economic issues. After extensive research, I felt that 3Keel was the place where I could make the greatest impact so I’m really delighted to be here.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do?

I live in Cornwall so spend my free time in nature! I love surfing, paddle boarding, cold sea dipping, mountain biking and hiking. Food is a big part of my life so I love cooking and eating out with my husband, friends and family.
