Speaker

As a speaker I give talks, seminars and workshops around the country on topics ranging from sexuality, queerness, identity, racial diversity, intersectionality, to climate change, marine biology, journalism, storytelling, creative writing and natural history and wildlife film making, and have also performed poetry I have written on these subjects.

My hope is that through speaking passionately about such a huge range of subjects I’m interested in, it will raise awareness and create a platform for a future of more intersectional, understanding and overall better environments to talk, explore and learn in.

Here are some of the places, events and organisations I have spoken at, contributed to and done speaking work with…

As a guest lecturer at universities and mentor on various writing programmes I seek to help people interweave themselves with a love for natural history and writing, whether it be through reflection of their journeys or a new found love of both.
