It was fantastic to connect with so many alumni and employers at the Green Careers Festival and gain real insight into what it’s like to work in a green role.

We caught up with Maya Hodgson, Cambridge grad, who completed a BA in Geography followed by an MPhil in Environmental Policy before launching her career in
sustainability.

She’s now an Assistant Transport Planner at KMC Transport Planning, helping shape more sustainable transport systems.

🎥 Watch to hear her insights.
