Divya Kumar, Community engagement manager at Earthwatch Europe

An absolute livewire, Divya Kumar is a community engagement manager for Earthwatch Europe, responsible for overseeing Tiny Forests around the UK. She aims to hit the 300 mark by the end of 2025 and now describes herself as a socio-environmentalist. But when Divya was younger, though she had dreams of becoming a veterinarian or an animator, her parents encouraged her towards a corporate career. Divya describes how and why she stepped off her parents' ideal career path and how life changed again when, supporting her husband's career, Divya moved to the UK. You'll also hear how Divya's parents feel now about her career.Read more and find extra links on the ProGRESS website show notes here…Also mentioned in the podcastNot The End of the World by Hannah RitchieUniversity of OxfordYou might also enjoy listening to:Dr Bushra Schuitemaker, Zoologist, microbiologist and award winning communicator S4 E2Helen Walsh, designer, writer and conservation sector communicator S3 E11Jo Faulkner-Harvey, head of charity fundraising S3 E5Rachel Warren, Professor of global change and environmental biology S1 E7About ProGRESS:Host Sandra Kessell invites guests to discuss their pro- Green, Ethical, Sustainable and Socially responsible careers, courses and activities and asks for real-world insights into the paths and decisions that led to them.Original content © Sandra Kessell Original music © Lyze KessellFollow ProGRESSOn LinkedInInstagram: @progress_green_careers_podcastEmail us: hello [@] mypro-gress.co.ukExpect revelations, lightbulb moments and an informative listen on ProGRESS, with plenty of insights as guests explain how and why got into their Green, Ethical, Sustainable and Socially Responsible career or course (the GRESS of ProGRESS) with plenty of tips if you want to do the same.
