Alex, originally from the outer edge of London, graduated with a BSc in Psychology from Leeds in 2016. After her degree, Alex set off to travel Asia, Australia, and New Zealand for a few years. Throughout this time and since living in New Zealand, Alex has experienced different roles incorporated with working with the land. From working for small local growers, and larger international crop corporations to extensive orchard developments. As well as landscaping and gardening for commercial companies.

Noticing the negative impacts of these conventional practices generated a shift in Alex’s awareness and ethics. What had felt like the standard procedures of agricultural work began to feel disconnected and extractive—resulting in a motivating drive for research around permaculture and regenerative farming.

Alex believes in the significance of regenerating our land, a beautiful country she is now grateful to call home. Alex is excited to contribute to the change that Ata Regenerative offers and will provide support in this process by working as Administrator and Co-ordinator.
