A keen photographer and recreational kayaker, I am fortunate to live in close proximity and accessibility to both pursuits on Australia's Mornington Peninsula. My career has extended across multiple industry sectors, but some of my most rewarding experiences have derived from campaigns and projects relating to protection of the natural world. I am Chair and a non-executive director on the board of the Western Port Biosphere Foundation, responsible for stewardship of one of UNESCO's 748 globally recognised biosphere reserves. It is an ideal opportunity for me to engage and make a difference on exploring and advocating for improved models and planning for integration of people and nature. Our organisation's values and operating model, which relies for its success on partnering with government, communities and business, aligns closely with the principles and aspirations of doughnut economics. I hope to learn and share ideas for the pathway to achieving our aspirations.
