Hi, I’m Imogen, and I’m the Editor in Chief at Thred. I moved to the UK from Australia to study English at the University of Oxford in 2015.
Since graduating, I’ve lived in London where I’m informally studying ethics and learning French as side projects to my main gig as Editor in Chief at Thred. My specialist subjects include social and climate justice, women’s issues, and human rights.
I can usually be found furiously tapping away at my keyboard as I rant in liberal. In the office I regularly take on the role of mum, making pita bread and hot chocolates for my team. Although when it comes to using technology, my status is quickly downgraded to grandma. Despite the grandiose efforts of my team, I have yet to master Photoshop.

Exclusive – New app WaterBear is the Netflix of social change
What happens when NGOs, storytellers, and tech experts unite to take control of our ecological narrative? One of the biggest hurdles that storytellers face today is the disconnect many of us have between problems ‘here’ and problems ‘far away’.
