Love Her Wild has been a huge passion of mine since I first joined the community as a volunteer in 2018! I’ve spent five years delivering events for the group across numerous UK locations, before getting involved in special projects and operations. I love spending time outdoors, usually hiking, swimming, paddle boarding and camping in my van, but I’m always up for giving anything new a go! Joining the Love Her Wild Community has been hugely rewarding for me. I value all the friendships and connections I’ve made along the way, and every opportunity I get to join the adventures! This community and its members really are something special, and I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of it.

I’m fairly new to the Love Her Wild community, but definitely not to outdoor adventures – especially when there’s a bicycle involved! From cycling London > Scotland, clocking over 100 miles in a single day, to embracing the slower joy of bikepacking and camping, I’m happiest when I’m pedalling and view the journey as important as the destination. Home is shared with my teen daughter, and several pets. Professionally, I’ve managed communications for a number of brilliant charities, working on causes close to my heart – including domestic abuse prevention and environmental conservation. I’m thrilled to join the team and manage Love Her Wild’s social accounts. I’m genuinely excited to connect with more of the incredible women who make up this inspiring and welcoming community. Here’s to sharing more stories, wild adventures and moments that remind us what we’re capable of.

You’ll normally find me outdoors, possibly wild swimming, long distance walking or camping. I’ve recently bought a narrowboat, that I’m currently revamping and I hope to be moved in by the Summer. It’s been a great adventure so far! I’ve been attending Love Her Wild events for 5 years and have seen the passion that this community has for this orgainisation. I love helping people fundraise for a cause they are believe in, there is nothing like the feeling when they not only complete their challenge, but also hit their fundraising goal.

I love being outdoors, particularly canoeing and wild swimming. I like to challenge myself with extreme adventures and have previously walked across Iceland and did a winter survival course in Sweden where it was -30! Getting women outside with Love Her Wild is a big part of my life and I love seeing women become more confident with doing outdoor activities.

Although I have lived in a typical ‘city living’ kind of way for most of my life, in the past few years, it has become an essential part of my routine to destress and re-energise in nature, away from the hustle and bustle. I enjoy hiking, walking, running and trying new things such as shinrin yoku. When I joined Love Her Wild’s End2End Relay, I knew this was a community I wanted to be a part of – I was so warmly welcomed and felt like I had been waiting to connect with a group of women like this for a long time. I am proud to be a part of the team! 

I’ve been a bit of a mountain goat all my life, starting at aged 8 months pulling my dad’s hair out in the baby carrier! I work as a dental nurse during the week, specialising in special care and emergencies which I enjoy. My true heart lies in North Wales up in the mountains though. I have two autistic children who are both following in my love of the mountains.

Getting involved with Love her wild is so exciting!
