Who am I?
I’m in the business of shaping a better future for people and planet. Trained in conservation science, I bring collaborative, evidence-based and systems thinking approaches to Australia’s most pressing conservation and climate challenges.
Over the last decade, I have worked across government, research and community sectors designing environment policies, programs and strategies that address biodiversity conservation, renewable energy transitions, natural capital markets, water planning, First Nations and community-led conservation.
My mission is to build sustainable pathways for reform, through collaboration, innovation and science-informed decisions.
My approach
Environmental challenges are rarely ecological problems alone. They stem from complex social, economic and governance challenges. That’s why I bring together diverse perspectives to create solutions that are practical, equitable and enduring.
My work is guided by the following principles:
1. People and nature thrive together
2. Science informs decision-making
3. Communities help shape solutions
4. Systems change when values and actions align

If you are inspired to work together and take action for nature and climate, please contact me. I will endeavour to help you as best I can.
