WHEN THE PANDEMIC STRUCK, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, FIND SPACE, READ AND REFLECT.

INSPIRED BY MY OWN MESSAGE I SHIFTED INTO ADVOCACY WORK FOR CLIMATE AND ANIMALS.
USING THE SKILLS I'D DEVELOPED, I TRIED TO TELL PURPOSEFUL, COMPELLING STORIES THAT ADVOCATED FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE.
I OVERSHOT AND BURNT OUT FROM THE HEAVY AND INTENSE WORKLOAD, LEADING ME TO REST AND REFLECT.
RESTED AND RECHARGED, I TOOK ON A MAJOR PROJECT EXPOSING EXTREME SYSTEMIC ANIMAL CRUELTY.

This year fostered significant growth as I applied my commercial experience to tell purposeful, compelling stories that advocate for systemic change. However, by the end, I felt drained from the intense workload and shifted my focus to developing sustainable work practices and prioritising self-care.
