Transition Towns Kinsale

I'm an Italian living in Ireland since 2012. I have a degree in Chemistry, and I work as a freelance professional consultant in Italy in Health and Safety and Hygiene of food helping my clients to follow the National and European Regulations. I have an interest in the Environment since I was young and when we moved to Belgooly I joined Transition Town Kinsale where now I perform as Secretary. I’m becoming more passionate about the Environment, Biodiversity, growing food, reducing waste and, having 3 children, I would like to be more active and see changes in our community and the wider society in how we can make a difference for the future. I think being part of this committee will give me a possibility to be active in this regard. Currently I’m attending the SECAD ‘Sustainable Communities Training Programme’. Within Transition Town Kinsale, I’m also involved in the ‘Kinsale Biodiversity Action Plan’ and ‘Kinsale Community Energy Project’.
