I grew up on a certified organic farm and while I had always lived a holistic life, when I finished high school I wasn’t quite sure how exactly I could make a difference in the world.

In lieu of a solid plan to save the planet, I decided to move to Abu Dhabi and become a flight attendant so I could pursue my other great passion – travel.

In what was a truly eye-opening experience, I spent four years living in one of the richest cities in the world, while travelling to some of the poorest like Dhaka.

Throughout my travels, I discovered that everywhere I went a complete and utter sense of disconnection with our environment was rife.

Whenever I saw pollution, poverty or the devastating impacts of slave labour, I would think to myself – “why doesn’t someone do something about this?”

One day when I was exploring the Giza Pyramids with my parents, I was staring awe-struck at the magnificent structures when the wind picked up and a plastic bag flew by.

I tore my gaze away from the majestic pyramids and noticed in addition to the plastic bag, a dirty nappy was lying discarded near my feet.

This moment was a total game changer for me – it was when I realised that we were not just disrespecting and trashing this historically significant site but the planet as a whole.

In that moment I realised I was that SOMEONE who could do SOMETHING about this. I could take a stand in the present to preserve what we have for future generations to come.

I decided to live a life filled with integrity, passion and purpose and so my business was born. Along my journey I discovered that real change begins within.
