Summary

As all the other people working in hospitality, I have spent most of my adult life in it and it shaped me in the best way possible. I am extremely organised (my colleagues would probably say insanely), driven and determined to have a positive impact on the future of this industry.

I am very lucky to have my current role at Timberyard. It allows me to constantly push myself and come up with new solutions.

Work History

Sustainability manager

Timberyard
Edinburgh, Midlothian
11.2018 - Current

I started at Timberyard over 6 years ago as a FOH team member and over time I started foraging ingredients and making drinks for our list. We make everything in house, from soft drinks to cocktails. All we buy in are raw ingredients, wine and spirits.

Last year we opened a second restaurant - Montrose - and sustainable drinks production for both of our venues became my full-time job. I love going out into the nature to forage and also working closely with farmers.

My main goal has been to create a closed loop production system and reduce wastage of resources.
