Must was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 1995[3] for her efforts on land protection, particularly her influence on British road building policies through her road protest against the M3 motorway extension at Twyford Down, near where she grew up.[4][5] She went on to work with Alarm UK![3] (an umbrella group for the nationwide road building protest), Transport 2000[3] (later renamed Campaign for Better Transport), and the World Development Movement.[3]
Must studied a PhD in Creative Writing at the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen's University in Belfast,[2] focusing on eco-poetry and eco-criticism.[6] She has been published in magazines and journals in Ireland and the UK,[6] such as Abridged, The Open Ear and The Poet's Place.[2][7] In 2016 she was named as one of the Rising Generation of poets by Poetry Ireland Review.[8] In 2019 she won the inaugural Environmental Defenders Prize at the Ginkgo Awards for her poem, "Toll".[5][8]
She previously worked as a librarian.
