Biography

Prior to joining CISL, Alice worked for several years in Australia and New Zealand in Corporate, Not-for-Profit and Government roles, engaging with national and corporate strategies and social and environmental impact projects. These included updating land and water legislation in South Canterbury, New Zealand; working across several large (150,000-400,000 hectare) cattle stations in the Northern Territory, Australia with R.M.Williams to improve social and biodiversity outcomes in addition to carbon farming as an alternative revenue stream; and writing the Natural Resource Management Plan for catchments and islands adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.

Alice has an MA Hons in Geography from the University of Edinburgh.

Outside of work, Alice finds every opportunity to return to the wild; whether that’s clambering about the Scottish mountains, camping back home in the Outer Hebrides with her dog Blue or any adventure that involves being on or in the sea.
