As a Nature Associate at the Green Finance Institute, Phoebe engages with stakeholders across various sectors to develop ideas and solutions in nature finance, such as farmers' access to nature markets and biodiversity net gain (BNG). Having worked in traditional finance, Phoebe capitalised her knowledge in how the system works and her interpersonal skills, enabling her to thrive in an emerging sector that is nature finance. Reading is a part of her work - she finds Land Healer inspiring and The Vegan interesting for switching off.
