- I cultivate positive impacts in the personal/social/environmental domains. I aspire to create and share solutions that transform systems for the better. I enjoy connecting parts, including people and ideas, together.
I work freelance as a researcher, facilitator, writer, and social innovator. Over the last decade I've also worked for NZ's Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Landcare Research, Victoria's Environment Commissioner and at RMIT University in Melbourne. I'm also the Chair of the Intersect Trust, which planted and fertilises the Intersect Network in Aotearoa New Zealand (www.intersect.org.nz/network).
