Animal and Climate Activist

I was born and raised in Ireland where I studied to become a nurse. I have been vegan for 8 years and in 2021 I left my career in Childrens Nursing to pursue activism full time. For the past year I have been heavily involved in animal rights, nature, and climate activism. I volunteer full time with Animal Rebellion whose primary focus is campaigning through direct action for a plant based future. My primary work has been in actions and mobilisation. Campaigns I have worked heavily on include Animal freedom movement where 5 Beagles were released from MBR. Just Stop Oil campaign which caused 1 billion pounds of losses and countrywide petrol station closures. Plant Based Future campaign (Animal Rebellion) which was a 1 week disruption to the UKs milk supply and actions around the country in supermarkets and disruption’s of high profile events. Resulted in 100s of arrests, huge media coverage including 1800+ online media mentions, an observable shift in the environmental movement in the UK to focus more on animal ag. Always intended to be a small stepping stone to much more ambitious campaigns in 2023.
