Jilly is the Sustainability Officer at Reuben and eight other colleges. She's always had a passion for nature and our planet, and our effect on it. Jilly studied Geography at the University of Aberdeen including a “Liquid Geography; The Vine and Wine” which led her to work in the wine industry. After a few years, she wanted to focus her career on an area it was important to take action on, so returned to study Sustainable Development at Queen’s University, Belfast. This led to roles in local government, working on climate change and nature protection.
Jilly is based in the central University Environmental Sustainability team which allows her to share information as to what the University, as well as the nine colleges, are doing and communicate best practice.
Jilly is very excited to be working with Reuben on ambitious sustainability goals.
