- Development Manager - Scotland's UN University recognised Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development, University of Edinburgh
I am an experienced professional in education and public engagement with a strong academic background in education (PGCE, QTS) and anthropology (MA, BA). Deeply committed to learning for sustainability, I bring extensive cross-sectoral and proven track record of education across all levels, advocacy, and delivering impact. Over the past 25 years, I have gained transdisciplinary international experience across diverse sectors, including higher education, museums, research institutions, and educational organisations such as the University of Exeter (UoE), Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian (USA), and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institution (Panama).
My expertise is demonstrated through the development and leadership of innovative international, multi-stakeholder programmes that connect science, health, education, culture, and the arts to forge a greener, healthier, and more equitable future for all. I established and have led We Are the Possible programme (WATP) since 2021 working with a transdisciplinary team of experts from University of Exeter, Met Office, and international partners including British Council, British Embassy, Higher Education institutions, and arts and cultural institutions in UK, Egypt, UAE, and Azerbaijan.
