“One person can make a difference and everyone should try.” John F Kennedy

Hi, I'm Amelia, a student, entrepreneur, and sustainability advocate based in Germany. I gave a TEDx talk about education and uncertainty, run an eco-friendly brand called One Life, and am always cooking up something new: from writing my first book to designing an educational board game and a positivity-driven calendar.

I care deeply about climate action, sustainable living, and asking the kinds of questions that don't have easy answers. This site is where all of that lives; articles, recipes, projects, and the occasional idea I couldn't keep to myself.

Currently finishing my IB with plans to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at university. Whatever comes next, it will involve bettering the world, one idea at a time.

My Ted Talk

We're being trained for certainty in a world defined by uncertainty.

As an IB2 student about to graduate, I kept noticing this gap between what school prepares us for, and what the world actually looks like beyond graduation.

So I gave a TEDx talk about it. Not because I have the answers. But because I think we need to start asking better questions.

Please enjoy :)

"Maybe the real goal of education isn't to eliminate uncertainty. Maybe it's to help us think with it, recognise it, sit with it...
Uncertainty should not demotivate us. It should raise our awareness"
