Laidlaw Research Poster: Co-Designing for Nature Connection in St. Andrews, Fife

Given the opportunity to do research and support a local project, I decided to dive into the topic of nature connection in urban environments by starting where I am with a local biodiversity project called ‘Meadows in the Making’ located in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Many thanks are extended to Lord Laidlaw for funding and creating the opportunity for me to have this research experience.

I am currently studying Sustainable Development and International Relations at the University of St. Andrews where I also sit on the Environmental Sustainability Board that advises the University on its Net Zero by 2035 strategy. I have experience with green entrepreneurship having co-founded the zero-waste company Concept Zero and been part of the sustainability consultancy OnePointFive as an intern and Sustainability Associate. I am passionate about regenerative farming and design, urban planning and nature-based solutions. I worked as a Growth and Community Engagement intern at Second Time Founders where I gained experience with outreach and community building through storytelling. I am always keen to explore the ways in which systems thinking, community participation, conscious leadership and emotional intelligence can accelerate the transition towards healthy, just, biodiverse and carbon-negative societies.
