Summary
I lead the sustainability team for my firm across three offices in NZ. We are part of a larger network with over 750 offices and 73,000 people worldwide.
I have successfully led projects, driven innovative sustainability initiatives, and worked collaboratively across teams to achieve impactful results.
I am passionate about restoring the Earth's ecology and creating a cleaner, fairer society. This passion led me to moving overseas to study a specialized course in environmental economics.
