Summary
I have a strong passion for and substantial experience working in Aotearoa New Zealand native forest. Years of experience have made me both very familiar with our amazing forests and aware of how much there is to learn in them. Working closely with the amazing trustees of Keebles Bush has given me a strong applied experience in conservation, a good grasp of the concepts behind it, and a great appreciation of our country's forest, all of which have pushed me to seek a career in conservation. This has built on top of a personal love of hiking and the outdoors that I have had since childhood.
