My portfolio of Work
Over the past decade, I’ve helped conservation organisations communicate with clarity and credibility across every format that matters: research-driven reports and strategies, search-optimised articles and blogs, and social campaigns on Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. My background in urban ecology means I can read the science as closely as I write the story, so the content stands up to scrutiny and still resonates with the people it needs to reach. Whether it’s a well-referenced report, a funder-ready strategy, or a single social post, the goal is the same: content that is accurate, on-brand, and impactful.

In my own words
Co-use opportunities in wind and solar energy projects
The compendium from Ipieca and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) explores co-use opportunities in solar and wind energy projects and aims to serve as a practical resource for energy sector professionals.
I conducted the research, wrote sections of the text, and edited and proofread the consolidated document.
