What drives you? I am driven by improving the relationship humans have with the environment, recognising that there remains a lot of work to be done in the face of both the climate and biodiversity emergencies.
What projects do you work on that you love or are most passionate about and why? I love working at the interface of societal needs and environmental impacts, and on projects which are complex both technically and socially. I am passionate about facilitating processes to bring together diverse stakeholders to create social impact, in an environmentally sustainable way. 

Career highlight/game changing project/something that made a big impact: In previous work, I supported a small business to design projects, collaborate with partners and secure funding, which will see thousands of households in some of the most rural parts of Papua New Guinea receive access to improved sources of clean energy.
