Hi, I'm
Maggie 👋

My life keeps circling back to cows...

I build "two greens" cleantech — greener for the planet and greener in the dollars. From selling milk at age 11, to winning Europe's sustainability competition with a cow plushie mascot. Methane didn't stand a chance. 🥛

🐄 Origin story

My life keeps circling
back to cows

🥛

Age 11: The Milk Entrepreneur

Dad asked what I wanted to be. My answer: "MILK entrepreneur!" Enthusiastically. Sold milk in my neighbourhood. That's where this whole adventure started.

😬

The Guilt-Tinted Drink

Then climate documentaries revealed cows' methane as a climate villain. My favourite drink suddenly had a side of guilt. New answer: "sustainable milk entrepreneur?"

🌱

Farm Elf: Won Europe!

Led a team at EuroTeQaThon to build Farm Elf — a satellite-powered grazing guide app. Brought a cow plushie to pitch. We won.

🔬

Phase 2: Microplastics!

Now building a microplastic cartridge with chitosan compound in the Stanford Global Sustainability Challenge, using CAD and slicing software. Always more to learn!
