I assist universities in adopting sustainable and regenerative practices in the field of international education. I have completed qualifications in Sustainability in Enterprise, with University College Cork, a Postgraduate Certificate, Sustainability in Leadership with TU Dublin, am a member of various Climate Action groups in Ireland and globally. I am currently completing a Graduate Diploma in Design Thinking for Sustainability with the UCD Innovation Academy.
I have delivered presentations for various global education conferences on Climate Action and International Education and seek to help institutions incorporate sustainability into their internationalisation strategies.
Where an experience and knowledge of local markets allows, I work on bespoke consultancy projects and enjoy the challenge of working on new ideas, with a network of consultants based around the world.
I have successfully assisted universities with internationalisation and sustainability strategies, partnership development and collaborative online engagement.
Having completed various training programs in sustainability and climate action, I am devoted to developing sustainability strategies and solutions to combat the effects of the climate and nature crisis, acknowledging the global south and the least to contribute to the crisis are being impacted the most.
Driven by a desire to do more in the countries in which I operate in, the concept of connecting students, academia and social enterprises came about. Essentially, wherever we set up university partnerships, I seek to connect with, and understand social enterprises in that country and the work they are doing.
By connecting universities and social enterprises, the aim is to provide students and academia with a truly global, holistic experience through their university’s global partnerships.
To give structure to global communities of social enterprises and universities is to build awareness, connection, broaden students experience and give a voice to local social enterprises.
To encourage ourselves, how else and what else can we do in that country together for mutual, sustainable advantage.
