Jules traces her environmental awareness back to the reporting of acid rain and the ozone layer hole during her childhood. She pursued a degree in natural resource management, further exploring her interest in the humanities and environmentalism. As a parent, her eldest child was lucky enough to experience the benefits of being taught the Harmony curriculum at the school where Richard Dunne was head teacher. She believes it is vital that children fully experience Nature if they are to develop an interest in protecting it and learning to live sustainably.
Jules is a qualified project manager and brings over 16 years of experience working across a range of management roles in the public sector, most latterly managing both project and revenue budgets, people and delivery of a large IT project following a policy and strategy role as a chief of staff.
