Bio
AJ is a passionate storyteller and change-maker dedicated to reshaping the narrative around climate action and sustainability. She believes in the power of stories to spark meaningful change, using them to educate, inspire, and empower individuals and communities to rethink their relationship with the environment.
At just 21, AJ founded an environmental non-profit ‘Seaside Scavenge’, developing programs that educated over 10,000 people on the impacts of single-use plastic and textile industries while showcasing circular alternatives. This early work reinforced her passion for environmental education and drove her to explore broader systems of change.
Now, AJ works at the intersection of storytelling, food systems, and community resilience. As a horticulturist, she sees growing food as more than just a means of sustenance—it’s a tool for regeneration, social connection, and ecological restoration. Through hands-on education and community-led initiatives, such as the Illawarra Edible Garden Trail, she advocates for more resilient local food systems that empower people to reconnect with the land.
Alongside her work in horticulture, AJ is an impact producer for documentary films, helping to transform powerful stories into catalysts for real-world action. She designs campaigns that extend beyond the screen, mobilising audiences, sparking dialogue, and driving tangible change. Whether through storytelling, grassroots initiatives, or food production, AJ is committed to creating a future where regeneration is woven into everyday life and communities are equipped with the tools to thrive.
