Mary-Ann Ochota is a broadcaster and anthropologist who gained her MA from Emmanuel College, Cambridge University and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society

It’s all about discovering, understanding and telling people’s stories in memorable, authoritative and responsible ways – on TV, radio, in print and in person. From the heart of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster zone, to the fells of the Lake District, and from the boardrooms to the factory floors, to the focus groups of business and civil society.

I’m a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and President of CPRE, the Countryside Charity. I’m a member of Natural England’s Landscape Advisory Panel (NELAP), advising their board on the breadth of landscape issues affecting nature, people, places and the future.

My work in business ethnography and social research helps organisations better understand people, behaviour and culture, and how it impacts their work. I also offer bespoke comms consultancy and training, particularly for organisations that sometimes struggle to translate technical information into meaningful and coherent communications for stakeholders and the public.
