I’m an educator, DJ and proud vegan! I’ve been vegan for decades and the biggest benefits for me are feeling fitter, as I cycle daily and connecting with like-minded individuals as I often DJ at local vegan cafés and venues.

I’m proud to be vegan because it reflects my belief that compassion matters – to animals, our planet and ourselves. After eight years, veganism is more than food it’s a lifestyle that aligns with my values and brings me joy.

I’m proud to be vegan as I believe all animals have an equal right to live a happy life free of exploitation. My job as an animal care assistant at a rescue sanctuary enables me to live out this dream.
