I am guided by the belief that we humans are intelligent, creative and adaptive. And that we express this in circumstances in which we feel included and respected.
With a PhD from London University in biological sciences I was a university lecturer in human nutrition. Doing qualitative research on how people construe meaning of food, particularly in social contexts, inspired me to develop a new career as a conversationalist.
