I have a passion for arts science projects.
I’m an experienced communication and community engagement professional and love working with others through creative and experimental approaches to raise awareness of and ignite interest in our natural world and big environmental issues of the day.
As co-founder and director of Nature Through Arts Collective, I also design and deliver community-based projects collaborating with locals, mana whenua, artists, actors, scientists and digital entrepreneurs. Recent projects include Imagine My City and Kaia the Kaka.
I have led a national programme of innovative community partnerships and outreach across the country for the Department of Conservation, written extensively about New Zealand conservation, and made short films with penguins and other crazy characters.
Currently, I am undertaking a Master’s degree by research with the Centre for Science in Society at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington.
