About

I work as the international coordinaotr at the Permauclture Association (Britain)  which involves support the devleopment of a network of people using permaculture design for sustainable development.
I am also a permaculture teacher, working wiht a team of people in my city to support sustainable development through education.
I am a community development worker with 20 years experience of grass roots group work and 4 years experience of developing networks to support sustainable development.  With a degree in Peace Studies, specialising in conflict resolution, I trained initially as a community mediator, before focussing on community development, and later on permaculture as a longer term means to achieve peace; as I realised that many conflicts could be avoided if people were able to access resources more fairly and dealt with more easily if people could communicate their needs more effectively.
I am also a parent to 3 pre-teens who's interest in the amazing world in which we live inspires me.
