A little bit about Me.

I live in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, with my husband, two children, and our dog, Heidi.

Before moving to the Alps, I lived and worked in London, New York, and Toronto, primarily in the finance and financial technology sectors.

In 2018, the IPCC issued a stark report on the need for urgent action if we are to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius, as defined by the Paris Agreement. This spurred me to learn more about the threats to our environment, and the potential solutions to slow and halt its degradation, culminating in the completion of a Master’s in Environment and Business (MEB) in 2025.

Today, I am dedicated to working with organisations that help preserve and restore the lands, oceans, and waterways that support life on earth.

In my spare time, I love spending time in the mountains with my family, skiing and ski-touring, hiking, and biking. The natural world sustains us, and I seek it out at every opportunity!
