With the aim of having a positive and meaningful impact in all she does, Chess is an environmentalist, concerned global citizen and accomplished activist within her local community. Her care for our planet and its people has led her to take up roles including as a Landscape Architect and sea turtle conservationist, whilst championing her town towards Plastic Free and carbon-conscious community status. She is a firm advocate for the power of individual action and encouraging others to create change in their communities. In 2020, Chess launched The Common Ground Collective, a platform where individuals can write about the stories of people and planet that matter to them. She's currently working on her podcast, The Common Ground Podcast which she hopes will act as a vehicle to encourage others, especially young people, to feel that they create movements and knockdown barriers.
