I have recently completed a degree in Ecology and am currently putting together a research proposal to study regionally important pollinating invertebrates and their interactions with plants. I view plants as sentient beings and explore the medicine offered by species which grow around me. I consider myself to have meaningful relationships with the plants that grow in my garden, those that are wild and those which I keep in my home. I educate my children on the importance of viewing plants in this way and I consider them to share my passion for relating to living beings as an extension of themselves. Aside from my research and home educating, I am a musician and I enjoy printmaking, yoga, running, food growing and making clothes.
