Our Project Team

As Chair of Climate Action Strathaven I am delighted to help make positive changes in our community. I'm passionate about tackling the climate crisis, and creating a sustainable future for our children.

As the Climate Action Strathaven Secretary I am working with all of Strathaven to ensure all children and grandchildren have a sustainable future to look forward to, whilst endeavouring to retain a sense of humour.

I’m just an ordinary person who’s trying to change the way I do things to minimise the impact I make on the environment. But communities working together can do so much more!  As a scientist by training, and now working broadly in science and innovation, I am pleased to contribute whatever useful help and perspectives I can to CAS’ projects. 

 Having become a trustee at a national level with Circular Communities Scotland and buoyed by the growing public interest in climate change and sustainability generally I joined CAS to make a positive impact in my local community and help broaden CAS's influence.

After 35 years in IT Management roles and completing an MBA at the University of Glasgow I took early retirement in 2015 to concentrate on my landscape photography business. I became a partner in ML10 Media in 2016, taking over the ownership and running of Strathaven Echoes until September 2023. I am also a director of Creative Strathaven & Frets Creative as well as Avondale Radio where I am also a presenter. I was delighted to be asked to become a trustee of CAS in June 2023.
