Bio
LinkedIn User
Resourceful and creative, Louise is not only fantastic at generating ideas and establishing how to develop them into well-rounded projects, she also has the goods to deliver, due to her wealth of experience in community engagement and proven background in undertaking large scale conservation projects. Louise possesses an openness rarely encountered and works with infectious enthusiasm, which combined with her great sense of fun makes her a pleasure to work with; I would definitely welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Louise is highly organised and focused worker with excellent people and team motivational skills. She was instrumental in co-ordinating filming of a complex landscape restoration HLF documentary, which took place over two years... so lots to film in that time! Louise also has a great overview of the bigger picture of environmental issues, and the implementation of ideas to wider and new audiences, such as we filmed for YouTube. Louise has great vibrancy and energy to all she does and a comprehensive knowledge base from which to draw.
