I love the great outdoors and our natural environment. I’m a passionate conservationist who wants to see a brighter future for my child. My day job is with the Department of Conservation where I lead the biodiversity work programme in the Rakiura National Park.

I’m a star gazer and spending clear nights exploring our incredible dark sky sanctuary with my telescope.

I live out in the forest with my family, dogs and chickens.

I enjoy helping people solve challenges and supporting them to take advantage of technological opportunities.

I value planning and being organised in a way that reaches long-term goals. Project management is critical to turn dreams into reality.

I’m Future Rakiura’s resident geek.
