About your tutor
I am a facilitator in the compost collective. My passion for composting and sustainable living began through years of hands-on gardening. Completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Management further strengthened my understanding of reducing food waste and keeping organic scraps out of landfill. I enjoy helping people turn kitchen scraps into healthy soil and encouraging simple, sustainable habits. Composting with my family, especially teaching children how to recycle food waste, continues to inspire me.
