About

I'm a big believer in planetary health, nurturing creativity and chasing outsized impact. And I love channeling my energy into climate and agtech. My career has been non-linear by design. I've worked in Treasury at Westpac (without taking a finance or accounting unit) I joined Cecil Earth to bring data integrity to carbon projects (with no product experience) Now, I'm building community at Farmers2Founders and putting farmers at the centre of innovation. Three roles in three different industries, with no prior experience. I'm a fast learner. Outside of work, I'm still learning. I'm a serial hobbyist! My favourites include trail running, swimming, photography, salsa, creative writing and angel investing. Oh, and I also learnt how to code in 65 hours using HTML and CSS.
