“Having decided never to become a teacher, how did my career evolve into conservation, environmental and sustainability education? Was it luck? Was it planned? And looking back what have I learnt?”
Ann is an award-winning educator and facilitator with over 30 years of experience around the world. After a stint as a countryside ranger in Scotland, she travelled the world teaching, facilitating and consulting in places such as Papua New Guinea, Australia and Canada. In 2000, Ann joined WWF-UK and became Head of Education/Social Change. She was the Commissioner for Education and Capability Building for the Sustainable Development Commission (the UK Government’s independent adviser on sustainable development) 2005-2010. Ann is the CEO of Sustainability and Environmental Education (SEEd), a charity she started in 2009. SEEd works for change, supporting change makers of all ages, as well as organisations and governments. Ann co-chairs the Our Shared World coalition of a community of over 300 organisations delivering education for a sustainable and just world, with a focus on driving SDG 4.7 in the UK.
