What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration on climate solutions and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Senior Climate Change Researcher with over 15 years of experience in environmental policy, climate change, and sustainability. My academic journey culminated in a PhD from the University of Tasmania, where I focused on climate change resilience and adaptation strategies. I have successfully delivered a range of research and operational projects across various sectors, including government agencies, academic institutions, and private consultancies, both in Australia and internationally.

My recent role at Informed.City involves conducting research on climate-related issues and preparing comprehensive reports on climate governance assessments. I have also contributed significantly to projects aimed at enhancing climate resilience and sustainability, such as developing corporate business plans and strategic risk assessments. My strong analytical skills, combined with my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively, have enabled me to engage diverse stakeholders and facilitate workshops that promote understanding of climate change impacts.
