- Born in United Kingdom
- 3 years' Experience in Travel
I started working in travel in 2022, when I made a career change and moved to Botswana to work at a horseback safari lodge in the Okavango Delta.
I'm super passionate about the opportunities for travel and tourism to support environmental conservation and sustainable community development (which Botswana models brilliantly). I really believe that when we travel with a conscience, we can leave a positive impact in the incredible destinations we visit.
I feel really fortunate that I get to channel that passion into my job at Scott Dunn!
