Our Project Team

Excited to use my experience in project management to help Climate Action Strathaven maximise its positive impact for the people of Strathaven and surrounding areas. 

Delighted to be delivering the Community Fridge project - helping to redistribute unsold food to people living in our community, whilst reducing food waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Looking forward to utilising my administrative skills with our Retrofit and 3C Bus Projects.

Thrilled to be using my experience to help Climate Action Strathaven grow, and looking forward to supporting our communities' sustainability.

Coming Soon!

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.

I’ve always had a keen interest in our environment and outdoor spaces. I studied countryside management at university to learn more. I’ve since returned to education and qualified as a therapist, I run a practice from the upper hub at Climate Action Strathaven where I see anxiety caused by the climate emergency. I saw all the work in the community that CAS do and so wanted get involved when I was approached.
