About the project
Projects and experience
I have worked in the energy sector for close to 15 years, across renewables, oil and gas, sustainability, and the industrial and commercial sector, and feel very lucky to have discovered community energy two years ago! Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor adventures with my three-year-old daughter, husband and our new puppy Betty!
