Currently Director of Plastic Oceans Foundation, and having been Head of Brand Marketing at the NSPCC, I read English as an undergraduate at King's College, London, did a Masters in American Literature at the same institution and then, after a year's break teaching English in France, studied for a PhD on Henry James at Trinity College, Cambridge.
