Background
I'm an environmental sociologist with over a decade of experience working across government, research, industry, NGOs, and consultancies. I specialise in designing and delivering stakeholder engagement and review processes that bring diverse perspectives into natural resource management, policy development, and governance—ensuring decision-making is grounded in real-world context and stakeholder insights.
With a background in both environmental and social sciences, I bring a big-picture understanding of how people and ecosystems interact. I'm especially drawn to the complex governance challenges around common-pool natural resources—where collaboration and adaptive thinking really matter.
Over the years, I've contributed to projects ranging from integrated marine management, protected area governance, climate change governance and communication, coastal and marine development and infrastructure, and seafood and fisheries governance. I'm a certified IAP2 practitioner and hold a PhD in environmental risk communication, which underpins my approach to stakeholder engagement and qualitative research.
What drives me is helping to bridge diverse perspectives and translating complex information into clear insights. I specialise in designing and delivering engagement and review processes that help organisations cut through the noise, connect the dots, and make practical, inclusive, and forward-thinking decisions.
