With over 30 years of experience in environmental and earth sciences, I have developed a strong foundation in providing environmental solutions. My background includes work across government, academia, and various industries, from mineral exploration to agriculture. As someone with hydrogeology expertise, I am a self-confessed 'data nerd' who possesses an insatiable curiosity about how things work, combined with a deep love for sustainable practices and the natural environment.
I work with a diverse range of clients who share my values and commitment to sustainable practices. By leveraging my hydrogeology expertise, I tailor environmental solutions to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the environment and the community.
My professional origins are in environmental consulting, tracing back to the early '90s. With a robust background in providing environmental solutions, I possess extensive operational experience, and my environmental reports now number in the several hundreds, covering various state and territory jurisdictions. Additionally, I have served as an expert witness in legal hearings. My particular interest lies in hydrogeology, where my hydrogeology expertise has been honed through over 3 years of research in this field.

I am committed to promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of my work.
After collaborating with the Tasmanian EPA in waste regulation, I joined the team dedicated to developing and implementing the Waste and Resource Recovery Act (2022). Many Tasmanians may recognize me from my efforts in promoting sustainable practices, such as the implementation of the landfill levy and the development of the Tasmanian waste data system, which leverages hydrogeology expertise to enhance our environmental solutions.

I understand the power of good data to help explain complex situations and to communicate a 'story' to stakeholders, including regulators and decision-makers. This understanding has driven me to develop a three-fold approach to site data and a 'people first' ethos for designing data systems that align with sustainable practices and environmental solutions. My experience in hydrogeology expertise informs this approach, ensuring that our data systems effectively support decision-making processes.
