Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia
I am a social impact practitioner and researcher interested in how communities, institutions, and industries navigate complex transitions. Currently working in social impact consulting, I support projects across social impact assessment, stakeholder engagement, and evidence-based decision-making. My work focuses on understanding how development impacts can be anticipated, managed, and negotiated in ways that create long-term value. I enjoy translating complex social, political, and economic issues into practical insights for decision-makers, while remaining attentive to questions of equity, power, and community outcomes. My long-term interests sit at the intersection of research, policy, and social impact, particularly in areas experiencing significant economic, environmental, and social change.
