With a previous career in the environmental sector, she is now exploring how her environmentalism and interests in sound might be combined in creative ways, at a time of environmental crisis, to connect people with the natural world. She’s also a co-director at Yorkshire Sound Women Network, a CIC focussed on promoting and encouraging girls and women in the fields of sound and music technology.
