I am a sustainability and waste education professional with a strong background in teaching, research, and community engagement across diverse cultural and educational settings. My work is grounded in a commitment to environmental stewardship, equity, and empowering communities to take meaningful action toward a more sustainable future. With a focus on waste minimisation and behaviour change, I collaborate with councils, schools, businesses, and community groups to design and deliver inclusive, practical solutions. I’m particularly passionate about making sustainability accessible—through education, policy support, resource development, and public engagement. I bring a values-based approach to everything I do, guided by principles of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, and partnership. I am continuously learning—professionally and personally—to better support diverse communities, deepen my cultural understanding, and strengthen cross-sector collaboration. I believe that informed, connected communities are at the heart of real environmental change—and that we each have a role to play in building a more conscious and resilient world.
