What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply conservation science and ESG expertise to deliver measurable biodiversity and sustainability outcomes, work collaboratively with stakeholders, and grow in responsibilities across project and policy delivery.

I am an environmental and sustainability consultant with experience delivering ESG advisory, biodiversity assessments, and conservation research to government and corporate clients. I combine rigorous field and lab skills with policy and assurance knowledge to guide evidence-based environmental decision-making.

At KPMG I deliver ESG gap analyses, benchmarking and assurance against frameworks such as GISTM, TNFD, NGER and the Safeguard Mechanism, and I manage multi-stakeholder projects to ensure timely, compliant delivery. My honours research assessed translocation success and genetic diversity for an endangered Grevillea, producing actionable recommendations for species recovery.

I am skilled in ecological surveying, genetic and demographic monitoring, GIS habitat mapping, statistical analysis (R, SPSS, PAST, Excel) and scientific reporting, and I translate technical results into clear recommendations to improve environmental performance and compliance.
